The Red Bus City Tour

Sunrise out our window, looking over Green Park

Horse and buggy in Hyde Park. There were lots of them.

We all ate Porridge, which was really good. Like a thick oatmeal.

I couldn't sleep last night. Was awake from 1-4am, read 3 chapters, and finally counting sheep worked. Of course I kept mom and dad up all night, too. Met up with the Salmons, and we boarded the Big Red Bus for our tour of london. We could get off and on whereever we wanted. First stop was Big Ben and the House of Parliment. Westminster Abbey was across the street. On the bus we saw St. Pauls Cathedral, the dragons marking Londons borders, lots of statues of famous people, lots of war memorials. Neat gargoyles and architecture on the buildings. Continued over to London bridge, the Tower Bridge and ate lunch at the London Tower. Ate fish and chips. Just missed the last tour. Went to get on the boat ride up the Thames, but the tide was too high. Back on the bus to the Abbey, and missed visiting hours by 5 min. Tired, we called it a day. My dad said we walked about 20 miles. Marci and Johnni had a date night (to see Billy Elliot) and I went to dinner with Gabriel, Sarah and my parents in the hotel. We did homework for 2 hours, and called it a night. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain like a gale (whatever that is) so we'll go on the inside tours to the london dungeon(scary), the London Tower, and the Abbey. We're going to the theatre tomorrow night. Off to bed now.....
