A quick stop in London to see the main attractions. My layover was 48 hours this time, so I thought why not take advantage of being in a beautiful city. I did the tourist thing and bought a day pass for the big red open top bus tour. You were allowed to get off anywhere you wanted, walk around and then pick up the next bus coming through. I saw glimpses of it all... Big Ben, Parliament, the London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abby, etc. I loved being amongst the incredible history and breathtaking architecture. Some day I hope to see more of Europe.I was thankful not to be completely on my own while in London. I joined up with the Bussell family from WNS, for a changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace and a stroll through the park.

Ahhhh London Town... I miss that place... Sometimes I still think about moving there. I am not convinced that you really did get to see London, although the bus tour is one thing that I didn't get to do. A lot of walking and riding the Underground, not to mention getting in to a few of those places. The tomb of the unknown soldier and the Jack the Ripper tour were a couple of highlights. I loved just wandering in the cities... You are right about the architecture that's for sure...
And yes, it is better if you get to do it with someone else... Glad you had some friends with you!
