London Bridges

This adventure is finally turning into adventures I like.  We got up at 0 dark thirty and caught the bus to Didcot, then the train to Caring Cross then the Red Tour Bus to tour London. Now that I think about it if our goal was to catch every form of transportation available in London we did it. We even got good at the metro.

The most stunning views were from the bridges, we crossed over many and walked across the millennium bridge at night, spectacular!

We toured the city in the Red Bus and saw all the major sites and ended up at The Tower, pretty grim stories.

Had a tour with the Beefeaters and got a lot of history, gruesome at best. Then it was off to cross the  millennium bridge to the Globe. 

The tour guide at the globe was great. Next summer we will get tickets for a play, can not wait.

Had a snack at the Pub next door and then went off to the Tate, which lucky for us was right next door. 

We then walked back over the Millennium bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral to catch a bus to Trafalgar Square. 

The National Art Gallery was open to 9 so we got to see some fabulous paintings,. My favorite as usual were the impressionist. They had three rooms full of them. I let Haley and Kirk see the rest of the museum and I stayed put with the impressionist. 

We strolled around Trafalgar Square and then headed off on the metro, what a successful day. 

Only one thing could make it better another stop at a pub. Right as we got off the train across the street was The Prince of Wales, burgers and french fries, what more could an American ask for!
