We left Amsterdam Wednesday - it was actually a bit of a rig-ma-roll - got to the airport and British Airways had made a mistake with our itinerary - we had to wait for 7 hours to catch our plane for the 45minute flight to London - ahhh well, we got to know Schiphol Airport like the back of our hand..... every square inch! Not to worry, we arrived in London safely, but a bit exhausted.
Sue and I ventured out on Thursday and have had the ultimate London experience - riding around town in a double decker bus taking in all the sights - Westminster Abbey, St Pauls Cathedral, the Palace - saw the changing of the guard - which was a real experience in itself, all the pomp and ceremony of the English wrapped up into one 40minute event! We've seen the Tower of London, Big Ben, the London Eye, Covent Garden - the lot! The tour was great - with a tour guide telling us all of the history of each place and also telling the usual jokes that go along with the job - we actually thought Trasey Chambers would be a great London Tour Guide, can you imagine!
As we always do, we found the Camden Markets this morning - i've got to say - not as good as I thought they would be BUT - we did find the Thrift Shops by accident in the same area so have had a ball getting our new look shabby sheik bristish wardrobe together!
