Leaving London

We had a good day of touring yesterday. We took the double decker down to the Tower of London and checked it out. That was the highlight of London for me. The armory was especially cool.

We then took a boat up the Thames to Westminster where we headed to Buckingham Palace. Pam loved that part, but I'm not into the overly ornate stuff, but the history and art were interesting.

We then had to take a trip to Harrod's. Again - not my cup of tea. We did pick up a copy of the new Harry Potter book (the British Version). We closed out the night sitting by the Thames and listening to Big Ben sound off.

Today we are headed to Paris. We'll be catching the Eurostar train in Waterloo and traveling thru the Chunnel to get there. We'll post more later.

hi Pam and Ray,
Had a few minutes so I decided to
catch up on the trip. Sounds like fun and very tiring. Eat some good
chocolates for me. By the time you
get home I will be working at a new Florist. Lots of changes here.
Love, Kim

Hi Darlene, Hope you had a good vacation. I will e-mail you soon!

Julie, the Eurostar does go through the Chunnel! It stand for tunnel and the English Channel, voila, the Chunnel. But basically it was just going in to the dark for 20 minutes. Nothing too Exciting!

Hi Donna, glad to see you are following our adventures!

And Kim, where is the new job at?
