Josh travels to London

Why Hello there dear friends!

I'm a young chap from the States with a hankering for authentic fish and chips.
Why don't we travel on over to London for a bite and I will give you a tour on our way!


After that 10 hour flight I need to stretch my limbs.
Let's start our walk off at Trafalgar Square!



Look, look...look!  Over there!
Aw, you missed it.  The Queen was waving at us from Buckingham Palace!
Don't I look good next to the gold plated gates?




Right around the corner is the Tower of London Castle and the Tower Bridge!
The gate at the bottom is the Traitors Gate where prisoners would enter the castle.




My favorite song is "London Bridge is Falling Down,"  I like to do the actions and everything!
Let's sing it a round or two while we gander at the London Tower Bridge!



Some signs in London look different than in the States.  

Instead of Yield look for "Give Way"
Instead of Exit look for a sign that reads "Way Out"
And if you see a sign for a Queue...that is where you should line up.

Also, KFC is much nicer here and is two stories tall!



Let's take a picture in front of the London Eye.
You won't get me up there until I have had my fish and chips.
I don't want to get queasy now.





Do you have the time?  Oh wait, I think I hear the chime of Big Ben.
It is so convenient having a giant clock tower I can see almost anywhere in London.



You may have hear of St. Paul's Cathedral, Sir Winston Churchill's funeral was held here.
Now you can see it!


 

London is busy busy right now getting ready for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Let us get some snap shots of Westminster Abbey!  Remember when Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married there?  Carla Laney does.



The city of London is three times as busy at night than during the day.
It is fun to see the city with the lights of Harrod's, Big Ben, and the London Eye.
Let's go grab a bite before it gets too late or too busy!



Ah, these pepper and vinegar fish and chips were just what I needed.
Thanks for the company around London!

Until next time!



Cheers!

Where Josh is Sleeping tonight...and tomorrow...

Talked with Josh twice today...and I wish I was in London with him.  

Here is his place for the next couple of nights, not too shabby!


He left 7:00 pm Saturday, arrived 1:15 pm in London Sunday where they are about 8 hours ahead.  He slept 3 hours on the plane which meant he got in 3 hours of sleep in 32 hours. Not much different than here at home lately during this crazy busy season.

Josh saw all that he could in 1/2 day today, but tomorrow it is work work work.  Tuesday it is work work work, and then catch an 11 hour red eye to Chicago for a lay-over.  Then another 5 hour flight back to SFO.  I am not jealous of the lay-over and flights, but I am sure he will use it wisely for sleep.

I can't wait to see all of his pictures and get my prize!  He got me a prize. :)

Where Josh is Sleeping tonight...


Not like our bed, but at least it is Business Class!  In 10.5 hours Josh will be in London.
I am just a little bit envious...
He was practicing his British accent all day. :)
