Loving London

Today we hopped on a coach—apparently the English hate when American’s refer to any bus besides the red ones as buses—and drove around in the crazy bumper-to-bumper-traffic for some sightseeing. The tour lasted for about three hours, but it seemed like three minutes. We went to places like the Tower Bridge, City hall, and, of course, Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives. The tour guide even showed us the shop where the Queen buys her underwear—by appointment, naturally—where Michael Jackson stayed while on his previous tours in London and where he would’ve stayed on his This Is It tour (in the Royal suite for only eight-thousand pounds a night!), and Beyonce and Brittney Spears’ favorite shop. There were so many things to see and so many places I want to visit on my own time. Amber and I have to go back. The first thing on the list is the London Dungeon. I can’t wait ‘til it gets a little warmer so we could walk around and take some more pictures instead of freezing in the rain!

Here are some pictures of some of the main places and infamous monuments that we saw. You can view more pictures in the gallery.
