Once the Chicago ladies arrived, we headed out to see London. We hopped on the Hop On, Hop Off Bus Tour but we just stayed on until we had seen all of London. Our tour guides (yes guides - we were on so long our first guide got off for tea!) were quite amusing and informative. We finally got off the bus at St Pauls just in time for a warm up Chai tea from Starbucks and then the five o'clock evensong sung by an Oxford choir. Beautiful voices, gorgeous inspiring setting!
A few of the sights we saw:
We then took a river cruise from the Tower of London to Big Ben - free with our bus tour ticket. We walked to Trafalger Square and then into our first British pub for our first taste of Fish & Chips. A very full day of the best London had to offer. We can't wait for Day Two.
Fresh salmon from the Thames?
