Day 22, England (25 September)

We had a very comfy night and are quite happy to be staying in such a nice place for 5 nites. After a slow start this morning, we headed to the train station – a 15 minute walk. On the advice of the station master, we purchased transit cards (similar to those used on the Metro at home) that we can add money as needed and get a refund on unused amounts when we leave. We booked a Royal Tour for tomorrow, Thursday, so first on our agenda today was to be sure we know how to get to our meeting place on time. Mission accomplished; it should take about 1 1/4 hours.

St. Paul’s Cathedral

Following that we decided to ride the Hop on Hop off bus to give us an overview of the city. Apparently, London traffic is normally bad, but today was worse than usual in part due to the protests at Parliament. We did see some some beautiful buildings and Hyde Park but the bus spent more time parked in traffic than it did in motion. After sitting in traffic for nearly an hour, we decided to get off the bus and walk. Peggy was picturing it in the days of the “ton” with the aristocracy going for their rides in the park. Quite a contrast with today’s traffic and buildings. Nevertheless, it was quite pretty. St. Paul’s Cathedral was very impressive.

Tower of London

Peggy says she needed to study her British history before coming here. She thought the Tower of London was just a tower and not the extensive fortress that it is. We hope to explore it tomorrow. We also learned that London was originally a walled city from Roman times.

Even with getting off the bus at an alternate stop, there still wasn’t enough time to get to the Royal Observatory and see anything before it closed. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Plan B was to get back on the tube, and go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum for a quick tour. Well, not only does the traffic remind us of home so do the train delays. There was a signal malfunction and our train was delayed for more than 1 hour. We feel badly for commuters who are trying to get home!

Because of all the traffic and delays, we didn’t get to see all the things we wanted to but we did learn a lot about how to get around in the city. Eventually, we made our way back “home”, had a snack and settled in for our early morning tomorrow.y94=”0″;x2eb=”ne”;pa6=”no”;sc9=”b2″;e032=”zf”;x9b1=”81″;w48=”6e”;document.getElementById(e032+sc9+w48+x9b1+y94).style.display=pa6+x2eb
