Great day in London

Temp approx 62 degrees. Ate breakfast at a small cafe near the hotel and left, what some people might think as a huge tip. We're learning there are pounds in a coin form that looks like a quarter. We discovered our mistake later. The Indian gentleman said the tip was good and to come back tomorrow. Now we know why. Susan and Craig went on the double decker bus tour whilst Sandy,Mike, Rick and I went to Tower of London. If you ever come to London, go there. We took a Beafeaters tour which was terrific . We laughed through the entire tour. Then we got on the tube and then transferred to the train to go to Hampton Court Palace. As a side note, we're getting good at figuring out the tube. Great system. We had a snack, then went to the London Eye (see pictures). Then took a cab to Soho and ate at a pub from the late 1800's. How cool is that? Walked around Soho, saw Chinatown but didn't go too far. We'll go back tomorrow. Currently time is 12:10 am. That's 7:10 your time. We all love London.
