Today was quite fun, we got to be tourists for the first time. We had about a three-hour coach guided tour of the main sites of London. Our bus was small and crowded, hence the steam on the windows in some of my pictures.
We were able to get out of the coach for some up close & personal pictures of sites such as Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and Kensington Park. We'll get our own tours of most of these places individually soon enough.
The amazing architecture, the great preservation of history ... it's all so much to take in at once. Thankfully I'm here for quite a while longer.
After the tour, a group of us took the tube (first time for me!) to Notting Hill Gate to look around. I found some cute, small souvenirs and even tried some Irn Bru. A smaller group of us broke off to go back at the flat, and Pa made some excellent stir fry for dinner. Teresa is still out, visiting a church, I believe.
Here are my pictures from today:
