Day Two in London

Day two in London we did some more touring, and were able to move into our new flat a day early (YAY!).

The flat is six flights up with no lift. So we had to hike all of our luggage up. It was hard work, but what a great flat we have.

Whitney and Corinne just arrived today. We're going to head out to the city of London and hit some pubs!

Here's a video blog of day two!

London Day One

So we made it here in fantastic fashion. We were upgraded to Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class snooze zone, and I'm not sure how I'll ever fly coach again. On day one we were suffering from jet lag the entire time. It's not too great getting to London at 6:30 am and having to stay up pretty much all day.

We pushed through though and ended up falling to sleep in our jail cell, err... East Hotel room in South Kensington right around 8 pm.

On day one, we check out Big Ben, Westminster, etc... Abbie wanted to take a big bus tour around London. We did that and it was quite enjoyable. We really liked being able to see all of the big "tourist sites" at once.

We sat along the Thames for a bit looking at the boats go by and then decided to get on the bus.

At the end of the day we ate dinner at the Stanhope Arms on Gloucester Road and headed back towards our Easy Hotel.

The following is our first video blog. We take a look at the hotel and also take a walk to the tube station. Nothing special, just a quick look at London!
