London

The first two days of our European whirlwind vacation were in London. We left Monday morning and took a train from Bristol to London. From there we found our hotel on the north side of Hyde Park and then it was directly out to see the sights.

You can see lots of pictures below, but basically we hit all of the major highlights; Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Picadilly Circus, etc. It was fun.

We just spent a single night in London, the next night we took a train to an airport about 40 minutes north of London in a town called Luton. We were flying cheapo airlines, like EasyJet & RyanAir, so we had to go to some small airports to get flights. They save money on taxes that way & we get flights for next to nothing.

London was neat. I vaguely recalled the Palace from my trip there as a kid. I seem to remember it being quite a bit bigger though, which is probably a result of my being quite a bit smaller at the time. We had some decent food & no rain, so we can't complain.

That's it for now, I'll update you on the rest of our trip shortly.
