London – Day 3 of 3 :(

Well, today is the end of our time in London. We may have a couple hours tomorrow morning to go see a few things we missed but that will depend on the train situation. I wanted to start this blog with something a bit different, sure, i’ll get into the daily stuff soon but first I wanted to say something about what London has taught us. So, without further adieu: 3 things I learned in  London Bus + Subway + Walking is better transportation than a car at home Beer is cheaper than water I should wear more suites (everyone in London wears a suite) 3 things Nic learned in London Elevators are mean. Do they really need to try to take your limb off when you hold a door open? Even though cigarette packages say “Smoking Kills” on the front, everyone...

Oops!

Well, today we had our first little oops! It was bound to happen sooner or later. The plan was to wake up around 8, get ready, and head over to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard at 11am. Well, we woke up, rolled over to look at the clock, and it was 10:45am! Bloody Ell! We missed it! It was probably for the better because we were both EXHAUSTED and running on empty, and my (Nic)  knee has been killing me so I had the morning to lay down and ice it. But, so disappointing, we missed out on this tradition! We’ll just have to make up for it by having an awesome rest of the day! Cheers!

London – Day 2

What a day today! We headed out the door around 9:30am and went straight to St. Paul’s Cathedral. How’d we get there? The Tube of course! That system ROCKS! We popped into a cafe near the cathedral on the way and got muffins and drinks. No, they did not make it on our “best muffins ever” list, however we’ve scoped out EAT. for tomorrow which is where yesterday’s muffins were purchased. Mmmm, can’t wait! The cathedral is breathtaking. It was built circa 600a.d. and it is absolutely mind  blowing to think that people were capable of building such amazing structures without all of the technology we have today. Kevin made the great journey up into the dome. It was a 600-stair, one way, realllllly narrow, stairway up into the...

London Day 1

So, we are back online for 24 hours; We’ve updated 3 posts including this one. Hopefully we can get a post in tomorrow too. We’ve uploaded pictures to flickr for our first day in London. Today started around 9am. Nicole and I ended up sleeping a bit later than expected but that turned out to be okay because we were both seriously exhausted from the flight and time change. We made it out of our room around 9 and headed to a Tube station to make our way to the London Tower. Of course, we took the long way to the Tube as I have zero sense of direction. We made our way down the Embankment road along the Thames and into a tube station that dropped us off at Tower Hill. Exiting the tube we quickly found the London Tower and an unexpected suprise (we...
