London Bridge is NOT Falling Down...It's Official

Jose and I are recuperating from London. We had a blast. Would go back tomorrow if I could. We saw in a day and a half what most people see in 3 or 4 days. I know the Underground like the back of my hand.



We flew with an Irish company called Ryanair, which is EXTREMELY cheap. They cut costs by not serving free snacks, the seats are not assigned, and they don't recline, and you have to walk out to the plane on the runway. But the planes are big jets and very safe.



We arrived at 4:30 PM and caught a train to Liverpool Street, then jumped on the underground to Bethnal Green (where our bed and breakfast was), checked in, then hit the town. That afternoon we went to Oxford Street, Picadilly Square, Big Ben, the Parliament and Westminster. Double-decker red buses, red telephone booths, old-fashion taxis, River Thames, English Pubs, Starbucks, and Gap.

























The next morning we woke up at 7AM and hit the streets again. The day's agenda was London Bridge, the London Tower, The British Museum, Buckingham Palace, China Town, Notting Hill and Carnaby Street. We saw it ALL. Don't believe me? Here's proof.

Well, there you have it. London in all her glory. Long live the queen.
