London Town

---

Today we booked both our accommodation in Dover and Paris. We bit the bullet and tried the English Public transport system, which is quite good once you know where you are going and what ticket to buy. We got the bus from Enfield to Turnpike Lane and then got the Underground from there to Piccadilly Circus. Our aim was to go to Victoria Stn to book a ticket to Dover, so we walked in that general direction from Piccadilly Circus. We first went to MacDonald’s to have a quick snack of fries (which taste more like potatoes; a good thing). As we left MacDonalds it started to rain and this only go heavier as the day progressed. From there we walked past Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and many old buildings and Statues. We came to a big arch that led to a park so we followed it and walked through the park looking at the lakes and trees. At this stage we had no-idea where we were, but once we saw the hordes of tourists at the big gold gates, we knew we were at Buckingham Palace, we didn’t stick around long due to rain. From there we went to the station, booked our tickets and got the underground home. Once dried we went to the Pub with Val and Dave and watched them drink pint after pint of beer and listened to the karaoke, I guess this is what the English do!
