London - day 1
The weather was hot and beautiful - a perfect day for walking. We walked around and saw the major tourist sites, and ate all over London. A fun day, but boy were my feet aching by the end (I wore sandals and Helli pointed out they were not suitable for walking all day....but they were for MOST of the day - lol)
A reminder - good for Americans and others that drive on the right side of the road
Not sure what "franked" mail is.....
The subway
Just a street I thought was interesting
I love this sign!
Marketplace near the Opera house. We had lunch here (and AWESOME vegan sorbet nearby!)
Helli & I posing with the red telephone booths.
You can rent a bike from many places in London.
Picadilly Circus - kind of a mini Times Square
Helli practicing to be a guardsman. I think he looks the part!
