Long day of walking ...
Saturday, October 13th; 6:10 pm London Time
Just a few minutes before we run out to our Sinister London tour, but I wanted to drop in and say hello and that I've put up new pictures from today up until this point.
Today we went to Covent Garden, Cleopatra's Needle, Big Ben, Westminister Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Take a look at them on my Flickr page!
A couple of observations:
1. Apparently the English (or at least not the Londoners) haven't gotten the memo about cigarettes causing lung cancer.
2. The Tube is *always* crowded. But a genius invention. Wish we had one.
3. Pounds are weird. The bills are different sizes and there are like 8 different coins. 1 pence, 1 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, 1 pound and 2 pounds. About the time I get used to it then we'll be on to Germany where I will have to learn all over again with the Euro.
4. The disabled are screwed in this town. No ramps, not many lifts (elevators), stairs EVERYWHERE.
That's about all for now, off to our tour!
Til next time ...
