Finally London

Long plane ride approx 7 hrs. Very little sleep to be had. Went directly to our hotel and then on to the corner pub for fish and chips. Onward, then to the lovely Kensington Palace and then to a Victorian looking restaurant, the Orangery on the grounds where we had tea and these soft, warm, scones with clotted cream and jam. Craig, Susan & Mike returned to the hotel for a nap whilst Rick, Sandy & I walked through Kensington Gardens & Hyde Park it reminded us of Central Park in New York. After that the three of us got in a double decker bus and took a 2hr tour of London.....Priceless. Tomorrow the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace
