We spent 2 nights in London during our first week here. We rode the train from Aylesbury early on Thursday morning, and arrived in London after an hour. We then spent about an hour just trying to figure out the tube system and trying to find where we had to go to get to our hotel! Needless to say, we eventually found our way to the hotel. We spent most of our time traveling around.
On Thursday night we spent 10 pounds and went on a boat cruise on the Thames River. It was a beautiful night! We got to see Big Ben, the London Eye, Globe Theatre (where Shakespeare's plays originally showed), and the Tower Bridge. Friday night we spent wandering down Oxford Street where we had dinner and looked at all of the shops and pubs. We went on a rickshaw ride on Friday night too! (one of those cart-like rides where you sit on a seat and a guy pedals you around the street). Once we got off the ride, we realized that we were close to Buckingham Palace! WOW...the Palace is AMAZING at night!!! Just think...we were only a few feet away from having tea with the
Queen!
Unfortunately, we had to head back home on Saturday morning. But, we do plan on revising London for a weekend at some point to visit other main attractions like Westminster Abbey, and seeing the Palace during the day.
You can look at some pictures in our gallery! Bye for now!
