Day 1 and 2

Toodles from London!
We landed safely at Heathrow on Monday morning at about 10:00am local time.

Aimee says, "Our flight was bumpy!"
Sarah says, "The breakfast was yummers!"

By the time we deplaned, went through customs, retrieved our luggage, figured out the Tube situation, it was about 1pm when we arrived at our hostel, UMI London. It is quaint, but a little musty smelling. But, according to Aimee, all of London is a wee bit stinky. It's somewhat noisy, especially as I write this. Some obnoxious Americans two seats down are Skyping a family member and talking as loud as they possibly can. Oh, and then there is the church group congregating in the foyer and singing "We praise the Lord, Our Savior Jesus Christ".

Today, we did the Big Red Bus Tour and took in all the touristy sites. It rained off and on and was overcast (the weather reminds us of Washington State). The city of London, on the whole, reminds us a little of Washington, DC.

Tomorrow night is Mamma Mia at the Prince of Wales Theatre.

More tomorrow.
Cheerio, Loves!
