So we are ending day 3 in London…..oh wait, is it 4? Hmmmm. It’s hard to keep track. We have spent two days of intense site seeing since I last wrote, and unfortunately I don’t have much time left on my internet hour to get into great detail. However, it’s been a BLAST and I am blessed beyond words! Just a short list of things we’ve seen:
Kensington Palace
Big Ben
Westminster Abbey (an AMAZING tour that had us both in awe)
The Tower of London
London Eye
Thames
Hampton Court
The Original Hard Rock Cafe (London baby!)
Taken the Underground, a Train, as well as the River Boat
That’s all I can think of right now. It was raining every day except today, which proved to be a very sunny day. NOT warm however – in fact it seemed much cooler than the other days! I would say it didn’t get above 45 degrees.
And as for the American Dollar – I curse you! I now understand at a very personal level how very weak you are! Do you know how painful it is to change in $200 and get about £102? And although it is not Great Britain’s fault my money is so weak, do you know how painful it is to sit down to get a burger, let’s say, and think “Wow, this burger is going to cost me about $18!” PAINFUL! But I wouldn’t change this trip for the world!
That’s all I have now……..more later I hope! We leave for Scotland tomorrow early in the morning – have to catch the underground to a train that will take us to Gatwick Airport, where our flight leaves at 8:45am. Neither Deana nor I have ever been to Scotland, so we are very excited! Let’s see if it competes with our current favorite place – LONDON!
