We are now in London, the last stop on our 8 week trip. London is very different for us for a few reasons: we can speak English in hotels and restaurants, we have to look the other way before we cross the street and, the best thing, we have been joined here by our friend Rodger!
We have already seen Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London and the Tate Modern. We have been zipping around on the tube like pros (thanks to Rodger). Joanne has stepped in gum twice (once for each shoe) and managed to walk about three blocks with a cigarette butt stuck to the gum on her right shoe...classy!
London is such a beautiful and vibrant city. Like everywhere else we have been, there is so much history here that it gets overwhelming. It has extremely old buildings and uber modern buildings right beside each other, and somehow it seems to work. Everyone seems to be in a great hurry, but still take the time to say "excuse me", when they need to squeeze past on the sidewalk.
The food here has been very good. There are restaurants serving every kind of ethnic food, traditional pubs and, our favourite so far, a wine room lit only by candles, in an ancient cellar with a ceiling only 5 feet high.
