London - day 1

Well today was our first full day in London. We woke early and took a few minutes to remember quite where we were! Sent texts, iMessages and emails to various folk, (you know who you are), and then proceeded to begin the day.
Had a bit of a go at FaceTime, which was fun. Will try it again tomorrow.

After brekkie we went for a walk and found a Hop On Hop Off bus just around the corner, waiting for the likes of us and any other touristy type folk. We paid our money and took our seats (right at the front in the true Aussie spirit).

We did a full lap of the sights of London - three hours in total (not a 3 hour cruise but a 3 hour tour) and alighted at Coventry Garden to enjoy some musical performances.

On the tour we saw and heard some very interesting things. It was Bank Holiday Monday and London was packed! There was also a charity fun run which meant many areas were closed to traffic, so there were some places we could not get to.

We caught the Tube back to our hotel, had a snooze and then went for tea. An interesting but tiring day. More tomorrow.
