We're spending the next two days and the remainder of our trip in London. We arrived two nights ago via Heathrow and took the rail direct to our hotel; it's amazing how effecient and effective the entire rail system is. We managed to get from the airport to the door of our hotel with 2 trains (Heathrow Express and the Tube) in about 25 minutes.
We're staying in Notting Hill, which is west of downtown, and north of Hyde park. Our first day we did the bus tour, went to the Tower of London, and the London Eye - a gigantic ferris wheel as part of the exhibition on the south side of the river.
At night we went on a walking tour with some old pubs and ghost stories.
Today we went to the National History Museum / Science Museum (waaaaay too may kids!), then the Imperial War Museum, and Parliament/Big Ben/Westminster Abbey.
Vacation is starting to blur just a little - might be time to come home. See you soon.
