Here are the highlights from Saturday and Sunday:
Saturday:
- Jennifer, Baerta still works at the Garden Court Hotel...she remembered us. We tried to teach her some English.....but the language barrier was too thick.
- The Tower of London: We saw the Crown Jewels and attended a cannon ceremony in honor of the Queen's coronation
- Saw Mary Poppins in Leicester Square
- St. Paul's Cathedral...looked where Diana got married
- Ate at Little Italy's...great
- Shopped the afternoon away at Harrod's
- Stepped in one of Diana's favorite shops...Harvey Nichols
- Had a couple of 1664 beers
- When we were standing in line at the Tower, we met a girl from Samford...it definitely is a small world.
- Saw Tower Bridge....I need to look for Meg Ryan on it from that movie.
- Mile Count: 8.4
- Steps...?too many to count
Sunday:
- We have mastered the Tube, but the bus system almost threw us for a loop...literally...Stan was holding on for dear life.
- Big Ben and Parliament: We saw these during the day and at night...what a spectacular sight.
- Stan rode his first double decker bus. What fun!
- Trafalgar Square: We found cold Fantas and Cokes
- We stopped by Churchill's War Room...but didn't stop for too long.
- Organ Concert at Westminster Abbey
- We walked across the Millenium Bridge
- We walked along the Thames River...saw the Eye.
- Ate dinner again at Med Kitchen--a wonderful restaurant (there aren't many here in London) at Leicester Square
- Saw London Bridge
- We used the Water Closet at the Globe Theater (Bankside)
- Mile Count: 10.95
- Steps: 23189
Adam is a great tour guide. We are leaving tomorrow to explore the countryside...a new adventure for all of us. We'll try to write when we can.
Quotes of the past few days:
- "These double deckers sure can roll." Stan
