London Was Calling

Saturday rolls around, just like any other day. We woke up, I made some yummy French Toast and some Hot Cocoa. Then we decided last minute that it would be nice to go and see London. After all I was feeling good, and we need to take advantage of it. We didn't end up leaving our flat until 20 past 11 a.m. Looking back we should of taken the train in, after all it was the same price, but we would of gotten there in half the time.

Oh well, we hit the streets of London around 2 p.m. Our first stop was Buckingham Palace. It was nice. Too bad the moment we got off the bus, it started to rain a bit.

Then after a quick bite, (baby bowerbank makes my life miserable if I don't feed him/her) we saw Westminster Abby. Well only the outside, they closed the doors at 1:30 pm on Saturdays. Oh well, we at least had a chance to admire the architecture.





We got a quick glance at the House of Parliament, and Big Ben. Walked across the river. Took the Tube at Waterloo to Piccadilly Circus. We continued to walk, walk, and walk.




I wanted to see Harrods, so we WALKED from Piccadilly Circus to Harrods. My Oh My! I did not know how far it was. The walk was a bit more than two miles I think. By the time we got there I was so exhausted that I couldn't really shop around. Since my body couldn't handle too much more, and Mike was hating me for making us go to Harrods, we took a cab to Marble Arch and waited for our bus to take us back to Oxford. I slept all the way home. We made it back to our flat at about 10:30 p.m.

Overall I learned we should plan better in trying to take a trip. They have a bus service for only a pound to London when booked in advanced. We had fun and we will go again, but for now I am glad to be able to be a bit lazy!
