London Calling!

We officially made it to London!  We left Vancouver at 1:30pm on friday and arrived in London at 7am on Saturday (which was really only 11pm on friday Vancouver time)...so needless to say we did not get much sleep!  The flight was really good though.  We watched 3 movies, had 2 meals and had a little nap.  Dave Gatey, Jenna's brother, picked us up at Gatwick Airport and we began a day of London touring!

We decided that we would tough it out and we are trying to stay up as late as we can tonight so that we can get on London time and hopefully not endure jet lag too long!  So far we have been up for about 30 hours!  Today we toured around and saw St. Paul's Cathedral, London, Tower, and Millennium Bridge, the Monument, Royal Opera House, where we got a history of the summer olympic games, Covent Garden Market, and the Tate Modern.  We have been introduced to the national train, the Overground, the Underground and the Tube! Lots of ways to get around!

A Picture that I've always wanted!  My favourite telephone booths...or as Steve sees it, it is the civilian entrance into the Ministry of Magic (Harry Potter)

St. Paul's Cathedral...its huge!  Now find Steve in this picture!

This is the Millennium Bridge, aka the Harry Potter Bridge, with St. Paul's Cathedral in the background.
