We arrived to London yesterday afternoon from a direct flight from Phoenix. It was a pretty uncomfortable flight, but it was pretty far, so that worked out. Chad and Bailey offered us to park at their house and they drove us to the airport which was very kind.
London was a bit cooler than I had anticipated. We didn’t bring much by way of warm clothes. Fortunately we have a washing machine.
We flew through customs on arrival so had hours before we could check into our apartment in Westminster. We took the tube to Paddington station and then walked south through Hyde park. That is a beautiful and relaxing place.
We to a nice break on the grass and soaked it all in.
We later found our way to a pub for fish and chips and a point of Guiness. So good!
After lunch we met Kim at the apartment we rented. She arrived a day before us. She was wise enough to insist we not nap, so we went out and toured a few sights. Later we went out for some Korean food and then made our way back for a solid night of rest.
