Yesterday after Edi got out of training, we headed to London. Our driver, Bob, was quite entertaining, so the two hour drive went by very quickly. We checked into our hotel, The Ibis, which is clean, functional, and minimal. We did a little walking around, had dinner at the hotel (because all of the restaurants were jammed), and pretty much called it a day.
Today, we got up early so we could be at The Globe Theatre when they opened. We toured the exhibition with an audio wand, then toured The Globe with a guide. She was really good! I can't believe I will not be teaching Shakespeare anymore!
After The Globe we headed to The London Eye. Thank heavens we ordered flexible fast track tickets last night, so we didn't have to wait in that long line! It definitely was a bird's eye view of London.
We walked across London Bridge, by London Tower, down Pudding Lane where the Great Fire of London started in 1666, St. Paul's Cathedral, Temple Church, Royal Courts, Somerset House Art Gallery. Wierd thing about the Somerset Art Gallery...they had a short film exhibit about the egg house in Cayman Brac which we have been in! We ended up in Trafalgar Square
A full day of sight seeing! What will tomorrow bring?
