It was about an hour flight, then took a taxi to London. We hopped on a big red bus after dropping our bags off at the hotel. We saw some of the major stops, Kerry shopped a bit.. Then Kerry saw a sign for Phantom of the Opera, so Jolyn made a call.. And about 2 hours later we were on our way to see it.
(London is in full decor for the Royal wedding, the day before)
(Westminster Abby, the wedding location)
(St. Paul's, where Diana and Charles were married)
(our excitement about seeing Phantom)
(night view of Buckingham Palace)
After the play, I still hadn't seen Buckingham Palace, so we got a taxi to take us from the show, swing by the palace and then back to the hotel. He was great! He gave us a bit of history, and then I asked what his favorite club was, he is a full supporter of Fulham, he grew up in S. London right by Wimbledon. His mom was a Fulham fan and his dad was a Chelsea fan.. I told him my brothers are ManUnited fans, and he said thats too bad, haha. But I said better that then Chelsea fans, and he fully agreed. :)
(this soccer info is for my brothers! I thought you'd like to hear it.)
All in all it's been the trip of a life time. Great places, with wonderful friends. I'm sad it's over in the morning..
Thank you so much Jo for letting me crash the party, it's been amazing!
