London-losing track of days

---

Hi all,

I am in London and it is after midnight. We arrived at 8:20 pm and were out of Heathrow airport in 30 minutes!!! customs, baggage claim and everything.

Had a good day in Stockholm. My photos will show that I really was there. We took the Arlanda Express train to the airport. It got up to 205 km/hour. The trip went smoothly and we flew a 767 Bristish Airways plane here.

Well, since we will only be here for two nights, we had to make the best of our trip. So the group headed for the pub across the street from the hotel, called the "Bag O Nails". I had a London's Finest Ale and hot nuts to eat. My then it was about 10:45 and Tony Kane decided we should walk to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. We had a nice walk - the streets were filled with traffic and people as you will see in my photos.

Saw lots of ITS on the expressway from the airport and the congestion pricing cordon.

Tomorrow we meet at 9 after we have our traditional English Breakfast. We walk to the Ministry of Transport for the day and then to dinner tomorrow night.

Our Swedush hosts gave us passport holders made oif Swedish mooseskin and a red horse key chain. Painted red horses are a traditional Swedish symbol.

Still typing notes every night and sending to our report writier.

Until tomorrow... Thanks so much for the responses. This blogging can be real fun- even though it is time consuming.

All it takes is one of those British...
drinks to knock me out. Things are routine here.
