Monday September 21st

Today we woke up, had tea and toast at the hotel and then went on a bus tour of London. It also included a free cruise on the Thames so we got to do that which was fun because I have never done that before. Of course, we also went to Harrods and did some shopping!
Harrods:

Marble Arch:

Parliament from the Thames:

The London Eye:

St. Paul's through the Millennium Bridge:

This is the statue to remember the Great Fire of London. It was designed by Christopher Wren and I thought it was interesting because if it fell over toward the North is would land at the spot where the fire started-in a bakery where a candle fell over.

This is me having lunch at Zizzi. I ordered the pizza... it had an egg on it. It was weird but not totally disgusting.

The Tower Bridge!


Today was fun. The bus tour took us all over London which gave us a good chance to see lots of different boroughs and really cover the city. It ended around 6 which was kind of a bummer because we wanted to see more but it ended up being really fun. Oh and it was on a double decker bus and we sat at the top!

tomorrow: flat hunting.... and hopefully getting.
