What have we been up too?



Well we have been bloody busy!! Jetlag aside we are still trooping on doing a million and one things!
Yesterday we went to Tower Hill and visited the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and did a river cruise to Westminster along the Thames. The history here is amazing and there is so much to take in. Scott is downloading the photos as I am writing this so check them out - some good shots - I think hehe! Last night we went to see a band called Thursday at the Electric Ballroom. Was something different but enjoyed it - although by the end we were both falling asleep - not because it was boring but still suffering from the time adjustments!

Today was another full-on day. We got the underground to Buckingham Palace and watched the changing of the guards - once in a lifetime thing there and it was awesome! The palace is MASSIVE and the surrounding gardens of St James Park also is great. Everything around here is so well maintained. We also checked out Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and we have just got back from going through the Westminster Abbey. We spent about an hour or so walkign through with audio commentry and it was a beautiful place. Quite amazing the history...Its currently 3pm here and at 5 we are on the London Eye...im not keen on the heights bizzo but see how I go - hopefully I dont freak out! But Ive been good on the underground so should be fine. I dont think Ive ever caught so many trains before in my life but they are so good over here! Who needs taxis or cars when you have a system like they do!

I miss my mate Cougar - I know Mik is looking after him but sounds like he hasnt left the bedroom so I know he misses me too hehe ;-) poor little thing = how dare I go away and leave him huh!

Well tomorrow we are off to Hyde Park and going to check out Marble Arch then Harrods. So another busy one - our legs and feet are killing but hopefully getting stronger so by the time we get back we will be fit and fabulous! ;-)

Must be off - time is ticking away so hopefully we will be able to upload the photos for you to look at.

Thanks
