Europe, Part Four: London, England

On Tuesday, the three of us took a short train ride under the English Channel to London! 

We spent the day on The Original Bus Tour, which we were very pleased with. They were funny, full of facts and very helpful. 

We caught the bus at Victoria Station.
We explored around Big Ben/Parliament/Westminster Abbey.


 Jacob found some construction. Surprise, surprise.


More construction! He told me later the diggers were his favorite parts of London.

Then, we went to see Buckingham Palace. We had to tell Jacob it was where the King and the Queen live, because he was upset at first when I only said the Queen lived there.

Down the road from Buckingham Palace, near the Guard's Museum, he found a tank, which Jacob proceeded to explore.

We ate lunch at Sherlock Holmes Pub. Jeremy had fish and chips. Jacob and I did not.
But Jacob did fall asleep with his sandwich in his hand.
We wrapped up our bus tour at Tower Bridge.

From there, we took a half-hour river cruise which was included in our bus tour and then enjoyed some wine and dinner in Victoria.

London was a success and I can't wait to go back and explore more!

Tomorrow: Paris
