We arrived in London early even with having to circle around waiting for a gate. The airport shuttle was right on the spot and got us to the hotel before 2PM. We got checked in and then immediately went for a walk. We circled around Parliament and Big Ben before walking to a pub we knew about for lunch (and something wet).
After lunch, we walked back to the London Eye, but the crowds were so bad that we decided to try that later. We walked across the Thames on a foot bridge and went to Trafalgar Square and the monument to Lord
Nelson. The crowds were even worse, but the sites were worth seeing. From there, we found a back path past wonderful gardens and parks to the hotel. According to Raylene's pedometer, we walked between 7 and 8 miles.
Once back to the hotel, we refreshed ourselves and then headed downstairs to the pub for other refreshments. The London Pride, ESB, and Cheswick Bitter were fabulous. We rounded up the evening with a shot of Irish Whiskey and then up to bed.
