Wow London was awesome! It was a lot like New York good public transportation, a lot of walking, and people everywhere. Lizanne and I took the train from Woking to London Waterloo, it took us about half an hour to get there. After leaving the station we were right in the heart of London with the London Eye, the Houses of Parliment and Big Ben in plain sight. We also went to check out Buckinham Palace as well as Westminster Abbey. The flag was flying at the palace so I think the queen was actually in side the palace when we went by how cool. We also walked by the royal residence of Prince Charles and Camilla. I got to see the guys in the goofy hats standing guard at the gates. There was just so much to take in I was pretty beat by the time I got back Saturday evening. Everything was just so pretty though they have lots of parks and little farmers markets it was just too much to take in in one day. It is so easy to get to London though from where I am staying it would be nothing to go there for the day. If you go at the right time off peak I was able to get my train ticket which was there and back for a little over eight pounds which is about $13 not bad for a day trip. On the way back from London we got a bit to chatty and missed our stop but luckily the next stop was only a few minutes away not a few hours. So we got off at the next stop and hopped a train back to our stop. It was nice kind of having a guide to help me along the first time I would have had a pretty tough time without Lizanne. The day was so fast paced though it was hard to really enjoy the sights so next time I go it will be a little slower paced. The atmosphere of the city is just amazing so full of energy I can't wait to go back. Enjoy some of the pictures I took as we flew by the sights I did manage to make it in a few of them.
