London

After flying through the night for 12 hours we arrived at Heathrow airport at 4.30 am.
We couldn't sleep on the plane but it was a good flight.
Not saying that it's a big airport but we did have to catch a train for 2 stops to get to our luggage.
We breezed through Immigration and were on our way to the hotel by 6.00am
We decided to go for a bit of a walk around London Town and by 8.00 am we were standing on the bank of the Thames looking at the Houses of Parliament.

We were surprised at how quiet it all was as we wandered around, but by 10.00 am the streets werebeginning to fill up with tourists.

We went for the tour through Westminister Abby it is an amazing building. Not allowed to take pictures inside but I managed a couple from the outside. The flying buttress' were brilliant.


 














After Westminster we wandered around to look at Nelsons Column and Picidilly Circus, by now it was about 1.00pm and the streets were packed.

We went to visit the Queen for tea and cucumber sandwiches, she was home today but a man with a machine gun told us was  a bit busy.

After a bit more wandering we went back to the hotel, a quick shower and then out to a little Italian restaurant for tea.
We went to the West End to see the musical, 'Billy Elliott' Tammy said it was really good, but I slept right the way through it.
It has been a very long day, but good fun.
