Whirlwind tour de London is over! :( Made it to the Tower of London which inculded a viewing of the crown jewels and the armory (King Henry VII definitely had some confidence issues!) We then took a boat ride down the Thames to the London Eye and rode on that to see the rest of the city. Way cool. Pops and I threw out our theories on how they built that sucker and I was right! (Bragging rights for a while against a CE) We took The Underground (though I prefer calling it the "tube" now!) back to the Hubers' neighborhood, which is quite nice, and enjoyed a pint (or two for me) before getting on our way to the airport... By the way a warm pint of bitters ('mate) is terrible! Ugh. I don't care what Pan says. Washed it down with some Guiness.
All in all it was a BEAUTIFUL day in London... Next time I would like to do the tour on more sleep. We're running on an hour or two of airplane sleep. All in all it will be 48+ hours of not getting to actually lay down before we get to our destination!
Dad says we had a great time with Paul and Cheryl Huber who were our custom tour guides and treated us to all the touristy items including authentic fish and chips on the Thames (and rides to and fro the airport!)! Thx guys can't wait to see you all again!!!!
