We Made it to London! No More Left Turns!

We got back to London the evening of the 30th and basically had no time to do anything but return the rental car to Heathrow. As much help as Ms. Kensington had been...Dad was definitely ready to give her back. Britain is a nutty driving country and London is full of traffic. So we traded in the car for tube travel cards and crashed!

On New Year's Eve we woke up early and started our tour of London with the London Eye! Then we wandered around and took a bunch of pictures of the cool stuff...so here it is...


A picture of the inside of the tube for those who wonder. It gets stinkin hot down there!


Big Ben at 11:10! (Okay...so we didn't get the earliest of starts!)


London Taxi, Red Double Decker Bus and Big Ben - Total cheesy postcard material!


The London Aquarium - I haven't been and don't really plan on going because I'm scared of what kind of creatures a land locked aquarium on the dirty brown Thames holds. Heebie jeebies!


View from the London Eye! (Don't call it a ferris wheel!)


Mom and Dad up high in a bubble!


Buckingham Palace from the Sky! I think I see the Queen waving!


View of the eye from the eye, we are up so very high


Do we look like Pod people? We feel like Pod people.


Parlaiment from the sky. It's quite a pointy building.


The National Gallery at Trafalgar Square. We didn't go inside...but we assume it has lots of stuff about the nation in galleries. (I'll visit sometime and let you know what's really inside)


Buckingham Palace up close. I wonder if the royals ever just people watch from their windows. There are a lot of us weirdy's out there.


The furry headed guard at Buckingham Palace. No red coat though...too cold. Wish this were video though...they walk funny.


A Canada memorial in Green Park...lookie at the maple leaves! Do I count as Canadian? Does Mom even count at Canadian?
