Today was a "Big Day" as Charlotte would say. We left the apartment about 9am and caught the train into the city. Found ourselves a Hop On Hop Off Tour, to get a bit acquainted with London. The weather started out quite nice, a chill in the air, but really not too bad. A couple of hours later it started to get overcast and cold, so after having Fish and Chips, we decided to do our Thames River Cruise.
We cruised from Tower Bridge to Westminster, were we heard Big Ben chime, the sights are fantastic. We hopped onto another bus, which took us to Buckingham Palace.The Queen wasn't at home, but we still enjoyed seeing the guards and the palace. It began to rain, icy cold it was, so back onto another bus, this time we ended up at Harrods, which has to be seen to be believed. Apparently there are 28 restaurants in the store. The food hall is really incredible. We had coffee here, to rest my foot, which was not feeling great.....After coffee we jumped into a Taxi and asked to be taken to the closest A & E, we ended up at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours, (pretty good, compared to Aust hospitals) and after having an X-Ray, and some treatment, we set on our way again.We got on the tube at Green Park Station and decided to head for Canary Wharf, which is only a couple of stops from where we are staying. we ended up back at the pub across the road from the apartment for dinner, the best Nachos I have ever had. The pub has lots of atmosphere and a great publican.
