Sights in London

How does a person actually top what we have just witnessed for the last few days?

Well, they sleep in for one. Then buy 10 newspapers with the Wedding splashed on the front of all of them. Have a leisurely breakfast of smoked salmon on a baget with a cappuccino and orange juice at a cafe. And maybe a little stroll to Westminster Abbey for some last minute souveniers.

Deb had previously bought tickets to see "Billy Elliot." So we had a bit of time to wander around before the show. If you are in London, for 19 pounds, a three hour show, you must see "Billy Elliot." It is amazing.

After the show we made a mad dash, on the Tube, to a restaurant we found in our book, "1000 things to see before you die." The Oxo Tower Restaurant. It is on the 8th floor of neat building near Waterloo Bridge, on the Thames river. The view was great. Dinner was yummy.

We were able to walk all the way back to Westminster Bridge, along the promenade, beside the Thames river. There were funky stores, little cafes, a merry-go-round, a skate board park and the famous 'London Eye.' Really lovely, casual walk with tons of photo ops.

The London Eye, the Parliament buildings and Big Ben were all lit up. Stunning. My photos just do not do justice to those London sights.

We are now slowly winding down to the end of our fantastic trip to London. Walking around the city is our way of saying good-bye......until our next visit. And we will be back.
