A rather long activity went on yesterday, and the day before that! It was called a 'flight across the pond' (please feel free to say that in your best British accent darling) and boy were we jet lagged. After finding our hotel, and dropping off our luggage and connecting to wi-fi... we sat and played and updated our dear electronics, sucking off the hotel's executive suite wi-fi. Ahhh, the good old days. Yesterday, we trekked around London quite a bit. We tried out the tube (I didn't see Merlin or Arthur, which, was rather disappointing.) We even got to try out the double-decker buses! (The roofed ones that is) and the sun even came out! We saw it shining on the glorious Big Ben and parliament building. (Sigh)
Upon returning to our hotel room, we immediately collapsed onto our beds (it being that you're not supposed to sleep where you are, so that you adjust quicker, resulting, in fact, in me even falling asleep with my eyes open 😟) then got up, mum and I put our jammies on sent Dad to find food! (In our defense, we all hadn't eaten and he offered.) He came back with some delicious strawberries and a croissant and rice! My dad and I ate and then fell asleep. (Mom was already out :)
So... Now for the evening news. This morning, we walked up Jubilee Drive and past Buckingham Palace, St. James palace and the National Gallery! This afternoon and evening I saw ( in order) the plays, Top Hat and One Man, Two Govners. This first one, Top Hat, was great! Kind of White Christmas meets Twelfth Night. But better :) second one, One Man Two Govners, is okay a lot of the humor was fantastic but one poor volunteer had water dumped on her and fire extinguished (and no, she wasn't on fire) poor thing... Apart from that, the play was rather funny.
Now for some pictures...
