London

Three days in London - we tried to see as much as we could. First we went to bought tube passes to get to our hotel near the Baker Street station. Very nice hotel - we would recommend it - 10 Manchester St. Hotel. Went to see the play "Billy Elliott" after dinner at the "Bag O'Nails".















Next day we went on a tour of Buckingham Palace (after I got lost on the tubes).

We also stopped by this Smart Car outside a farmers market near the hotel.






Also we went to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Parliament.






We walked across Westminster Bridge to then reach the London Eye.



The view from the London Eye was great. Though we did have to bribe Ric to join us. He had a good time though.

Also saw Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery on the way to try to buy tickets at Leicester Square to see another play. Then off to Picadilly Circus. Whew, we were tired!




Day three - Tower of London. Traditional English breakfast first.

Great tour by the Beefeater Guards, except there is one that likes to yell at innocent American women!








The last night in London we went to see the play "Wicked". We have all seen it before, but this was a super production!
