Day 13 - London, England

Started with sunshine but chilly weather...then things turned. Not the weather, but we got stood up for our tour! The major bummer is this is the only day we could have seen the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace (they only do this on even numbered days in September) and we missed that because we were going on the tour. So now what do we do? Shop!

We learned how to manage the Tube and buses....people are so helpful and pleasant here.

We did make it back to the hotel in time for tea, which is just so civilized, with our cottled cream, scones, and whiskey.

Got a great recommendation for dinner and had a fabulous meal. The entertainment was the two older Japanese gentlemen at the table next to us wearing wedding rings and dining with their two young "nieces".

Off to Windsor!

Hi,

Just logged in to see what you were up to but no blog. Just before I was ready to sign off - wha la there it was. Bummer you missed the changing of the guards but shoppings isn't all that bad either. How was Windsor????

Tomorrow (Friday) is supposed to be our hottest day so you have a
reprieve for the weekend.

Sounds like the Brits are treating you guys well.

Love,
Cheryl
