One month ago...

March 5th we were on our way to another country... 2 days in London and 4 days in Greece! With our tour books in hand, we were on our way to see some of the "touristy" things. We didn't mind, we were on vacation! These are pictures from our time in London. I enjoyed the history of this city, the architecture, and the hustle and bustle.

Tower Bridge behind us. Believe it or not, this bridge was nicer than the "famous" London Bridge. Another childhood myth gone down the drain. We did the Double Decker Bus Tour and took a cruise tour down the River Thames. London Eye, Big Ben, and Parliament were all there.

In front of Buckingham Palace to watch "The Changing of the Guard". We thought it was going to be a 15 process, but it was actually about an hour. There people from all over the world here...Japanese, French, German, Americans, Indians, etc!


The Underground...the tube, whatever you call it. I call it the most magnificent form of transportation. Easy to navigate, efficient, well-used by the Britons, and most importantly...CLEAN. Never did I smell the stench of urine. What impressed me the most was to see the locals use the tube as their way of commuting to work. I saw the most well-dressed people in the tube. Not one woman compromised their fashion for comfort in the form of sneakers when taking the tube!

Harrod's Basement...there was a "shrine" dedicated to Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed. The clear pyramid in the center contains the wine glass that the two shared on their last night together at the restaurant. S-C-A-R-Y.

Dinner at "The Blue Elephant". This was a very romantic restaurant complete with a Thai theme and large indoor koi pond that winded it's way through the restaurant.

Not only was the food great, but the presentation of food was awesome. Who would have thought that these tiny little bowls contained so much tastiness! Go ahead, click on the picture to enlarge it. You just might smell the food!

Stay tuned for Athens, Greece! Cheerio!
