We had heard good things about the Walking Tours of London from a couple from Texas whom we met at the Wesley Chapel, so decided to take their 2-hour tour of Westminster Abbey. Our guide was very good - she knew sooo much that our tour lasted 2 ½ hours! It’s a mind-boggling place - the architecture is unbelievable, especially when you consider it was built almost 800 years ago without the kind of tools and heavy equipment we have today.
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are nearby - what a thrill to come up out of the Tube and see them right in front of us. (Sydney, this picture of Tinkerbell's clock is for you!)
After all that time on our feet, we were ready to sit for awhile so bought 24-hour tickets on a hop-on, hop-off tour bus and rode around London for more than an hour. It was pouring rain by then and we were hungry (no lunch!) so got off at a Pret a Manger and had dinner. (That’s a healthy and inexpensive sandwich, wrap, soup-type place that we liked a lot.) Then back to our hotel.
Rain and walking - that pretty much sums up London, right??? But what a great place!!!! Glad you are having so much fun.
