We arrived at our hotel in London around 3:00 PM. It is a quick semi-unpack and out to hit the pavement and find us a burger and beer for lunch/dinner.
The weather is great in London - about 25 degrees so we go for a walk to find our bearings and do a little exploring. We are really close to Hyde Park and the Marble Arch (see picture below). As so many places in Europe, London is rich with history.
But I wasn't expecting to find such a large and rustic park in the middle of London. It was really beautiful. We walked most of the way around it and stop to look at the swans and a fountain memorial for Lady Diana. It wasn't a big fountain like I was expecting but instead more of a kiddy park. It was really nice, but we didn't get any pictures.
We checked out Oxford street (it is a Main Street with lots of shops) before stopping off for a last beer (when in London...). The jet lag is gotten the best of us so off to bed we go.
Tomorrow we are planning to do the hop on, hop off bus, catch the changing of the guard hopefully and head to the theatre tomorrow evening for the "Book of Mormons" show. Stay tuned....
