We left lovely Paris this morning and took the Eurostar train under the English Channel to London. We easily found our flat (which is so big and beautiful!), and met our wonderful host.
We went to the Tower of London first, to see the Crown Jewels. So pretty and sparkly! We took in some of the other exhibits too, like the disturbing torture chamber.
In true London fashion, it started to rain heavily. We were completely unprepared, since this was only our second rain of the summer! So, of course we had left our rain jackets / ponchos and umbrellas at the flat. So we ran to the nearest Starbucks to wait it out.
When it let up, we walked across Tower Bridge and then walked along the Thames South Bank. We ate fabulous fish & chips and drank Pimms & Lemonade at a great pub on the Thames.
We had planned to walk to Big Ben, but it began raining again. So we called it an early evening and will be better prepared tomorrow!
