July 16 – Arrival Day
After an early arrival the group headed to the city immediately to start their tour of London. Tim, our guide provide great information on the city while we bussed in on our private coach with our driver Alan. We made stops at the King Albert Memorial, Westminster Abby and Buckingham Palace (we wanted to watch the changing of the guards but they had a funeral going on for the 8 soldiers that died in the war this past week). Then we headed to Covent Garden where we watched some live street entertainment and enjoyed a fresh market of flowers and food. We ate lunch there and then headed to the tower of London for guided tour with Tim. We got some time to explore on our own and see the Crown Jewels. After a busy day of sightseeing and short napping times on the bus from stop to stop, we headed to check-in. We got cleaned up from our travels and headed to a great dinner at Azurro Italian restaurant near the Waterloo train station. More to come…..
