We have arrived, and with a lovely British man to pick us up too!! Now let the tourist gene kick in...

First off we had to figure out the 'tube', which is quite easy. Then it was off to the most touristy thing of the day, drum roll please, a DOUBLE DECKER TOUR BUS! So a ton of pictures, but here are just a few.....

Then slowly we made our way back to our room around 6 to get ready for dinner, which we went to this cute little Italian place, called La Pappardella. (fyi: our first food in the UK was McDonalds) Mary got a Hawaiian pizza, which I helped her demolish, Elizabeth got a Stromboli the size of a football, and I got a tomato/cheese pasta. Then we stopped at the corner Marks and Spenser's for dessert, so think a UK Fresh Market. We tried some of their local baker items as well has their pre-packaged chocolate covered cookies (absolutely loved them!).
