Great time in London

Had a great time yesterday in London. Road on the "London Eye", went to Big Ben, Parlament, Westminster Abby, and lots of other places. Rode on the subway and walked a lot. Good times were had by all.

London Calling

Arrived safe and sound. Trip was long, but fine. Hotel appears to be nice. Tons of people here. We are going out adventuring in a few min. I have tea with the Queen at 1700.

Travel Day

Up early. Great breakfast. Cloudy but nice. On the bus for a 4 hour trip to London. Beautiful scenery. Got a photo of a sheep, cow and horse. Of course we have these back home, but these are British animals. Trip smooth for the time being. Traffic busy at times. Going sight seeing in a bit. More to come. Hopefully to post some photos tonight.
Till later
Out.

Kelleigh the guest blogger- An update on our trip

It has been an amazing day. We are sitting in The Ox Restaurant in Manchester eating dinner. Needless to say we are very loud and luckily the English are just as cool as can be. I had poached salmon. Connie finally ordered her bangers and mash. It was not as good as the dish last night in Chester, but she still liked it. Stimis had fish and chips for the third night in a row, but he did try Connie's bangers and mash. He's being brave. This morning I tried black pudding for the first time. In case you are wondering, that is made with pig's blood. Oh yeah, that's right, pig's blood. I was not impressed. I think I will pass on that the next time. I am drinking a fantastic IPA right now. It's called Deuchars IPA from Caledonia - or as it is known today - Scotland. I asked the manager if I could buy a glass for Doug, my husband, and he just gave me one. The English rock! We are getting ready to go to a brewey. Dr. Wally does not recall the name. Cheers everyone!
