LONDON

WOW. London is amazing and huge, must bigger than I thought it would be. I almost hurt my neck turning all directions. We took a cab to the train station in Milton Keynes. Train to London and then the underground. And I mean underground. The subway is wayyyyyyy down. Lots of steps and really long escalators and very crowded. Lots of people use the underground. We made our way to the Green Park. The parks here are huge and beautiful. Very well groomed and used. Lots of people laying around and playing. We got onto a double decker open bus. Great idea as you are high and able to see more. However, I can not believe how CLOSE the vehicles and people come to each other And they pull out in front of each other as well. Kind of getting use to the left side driving.

The buildings are unreal. Huge, and I mean huge and right on the street. Just enough room for a small sidewalk and then there's the street Lots and lots of stone. Newer buildings are more of glass and silver (some blue) looking.

The churches are magnificant. The Tower of England...WOW... Next visit will be a tour of that for sure.

We had fish and chips which were good. Their pubs are just like on TV...usually downstairs, dark, cozy. Very nice people.

Also got to go in and look around, we had already eaten...darn it...the Cavair place. Might be worth a trip back. They were a bit snotty but everything inside the store looked great.

Next to the underground and the train. We did not take the "bullet" back so had lots of stops. It was about 8-8:30 when we got back to JJ's. Very tired.

MORE TO COME
