First afternoon in London. The apartment is amazing and is only 7 minutes from the district underground station. Very easy to move in London using the district line, however I still walked 10.74 miles today. I decided to map out my plan of attack on London and did not take my big camera with me. I exited at Westminster Abbey and saw the big ferris wheel (not sure yet that I am going to ride that one). I walked around to Whitehall Palace, Churchill War Room, the Horse Guards, Trafalgar square, St. James Park, the Monument, Buckingham Palace, the edge of Mayfair and back to St. James Park to take the underground from that station back to apartment. Prior to returning I stopped at an English pub for fish and chips and topped it off with Kensington apple pie. It was a good day even though I started at 3:00 due to travel from Paris.
The changing of the guards is at 11:30 everyday so I will either head back to Buckingham Palace in the morning, then onto the National Gallery, the National Portrait gallery, Piccadilly Circle and that area or go in the opposite direction to Kew Gardens and possibly then to Windsor Castle which is a 30 minute train ride. I only have two full days in London which is tomorrow and Monday so I want to make sure I see as many sites as possible.
I have a lot of pictures to take over the next 2 days so I am getting to bed early tonight.
