So if you haven't noticed, I'm writing from my perspective since Les is reading Julie and Julia, so you guys can see if from my viewpoint. Lucky you.
Grabbed the camera and hopped on the double decker bus to tour thru London. yes, ugly american at the extreme. Les is making fun of me of trying to mimic the British accent, but I swear its just natural.
Went to Buckingham Palace which is apparently only open during the summer when the Queen bee is in Scotland drinking scotch. They pass out headsets for an audio tour, which I can imagine makes everyone walking thru the tour like mindless zombies. once, i start laughing during the tour so ppl wonder which part I'm on.
after another fish and chips lunch, we head back on the bus to go by Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and stop at London Eye. It's basically a big ferris wheel that takes 30 min and costs about $30 ea...I mean 16 lbs. I took a cool panoramic shot, and I'll post later. Next, river cruise to Tower Bridge. I think I'm the only person who still remembers the Tower of London from a Chip & Dales Rescue Rangers episode.
Over the Thames River and to the waterfront fair. I think I found out where the Koreans hang out. Walking around the riverfront, I'm imagining what it used to be like before the high-rises condos and waterfront bars sprung up...I'm sure it wass something out of a Sherlock Holmes novel. Dark corridors and misty cobblestone alleys. Les thinks I'm morbid.
To end the night, head to an Indian restaurant since Les thinks London is good at Indian food now. hmm, yeah, I would have to agree. even better, no fire spewing #3 afterwards. I like London.
