We have arrived safe and sound in London. Met up with my niece Lucy who is currently living here. Went up the London Eye, pretty amazing. Didn't get vertigo at all. Pounded the pavements to the Globe theatre which unfortunately had a performance on so we couldn't do the tour today, maybe tomorrow. Saw the ruins of the Rose theatre instead. Next off to the Tower of London. Planned to catch the tube but somehow missed the signs and ended up walking instead. Very sore feet now as didn't have my runners on.
As you can see have managed to at least download one photo. This Big Ben and the houses of Parliament from the London Eye. Cannot seem to get it to do anymore for me. Again we have struck it lucky with the weather. Fine with cool breeze when out of the sun. Apparently it has been wet and cold here lately.
The London Pass with travel card is great. We do not have to worry about getting tickets for the tube or buses, and it makes entry into places included with the program very easy and generally quick.
Lots of little eateries near where we are staying which we plan on sampling tonight. We are just off Bayswater road within walking distance of Paddington station, handy for the express to and from Heathrow, and just around the corner from Lancaster Gate tube station.
Cheers for now Cia

Hi Lucia
I'm currently in Saba in Malaysia with Ian while he is on a short course for work. The resort is very nice but I think I'd much rather be doing the adventuring you are doing. Your photo of Big Ben is great and I can't imagine how much London must have changed since I was last there. It's great to follow your trip. Make sure you keep having fun. All the best, Anne
