London in a Day

So, for some reason we are unable to post photos or upload photos to facebook from Croatia. No idea. So, instead of posting pics within my posts, I will add a link at the end of them to my flickr album. Hope that works.

London. Lovely, clean, energetic, and complete with some seriously beautiful sights. We arrived at 8am on a red-eye. Got about 2.5 hrs of sleep on the plane. Downed some espresso and rocked on. We spent the day seeing the sights via The Big Bus. A good way to see everything when you have even less than 24 hours. We got great weather too.

Stopped at a grocer and got some veggies, pitas and hummus, all kindly marked as vegan on the packaging. Yea, London. Ate our picnic lunch in Kensington Gardens, then hopped on the double-decker. We saw so much in one day! Sunning Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, plenty of political and financial buildings, Buckingham Palace, Picadilly Circus, the London Eye, etc. We got off a few times to explore and then waked back through Hyde Park to The London House Hotel in Bayswater.

Ate dinner at a pub near the hotel. Perfect and classically British. Pasta primevera, chips and some pints. Loved it. Passed out by 8:30 and got to see the city all quite in the wee hours of the morning as we made our way to Gatwick (frantic to make our flight).

London was impressive. We can't wait to go back and experience a lot more. Cheers!
