Our First Day ...

We left Edmonton at 10:30 pm on May 6 and arrived in London at 2 pm on May 7.  We took a lift to a platform and then got on the Tube on the Brown (Bakerloo) line but had to switch at Waterloo to the Grey (Jubilee) line and got off at London Bridge Station.  Seamless.  We walked to St. Christopher's Hostel and checked into our 4-bed room.  Nice and clean and small!  Went for a short 3 hour walk on the South Bank and then crossed the Thames River at Westminster and walked along Whitehall, Fleet, Strand and Ludgate Hill past many landmarks to St. Paul's Cathedral.  We crossed backed over the Millenium Bridge to the South Bank and back to the hostel.  Had fish and chips and a few beers for dinner.  Apparently the Queen is opening up Parliament tomorrow, we are going to try and catch a glimpse ...

Here we are at home with our backpacks before leaving for the airport
