Randy and Sharon arrived in London on Thursday 9 Jul . Benjamin and I drove to Bury St. Edmunds and got on the train there (I'd never been on a train...at least not one that I remember) and finally made it to the Underground subway. We finally had to ask someone what to do because we were slightly confused. We didn't know that we would be going straight from the train to the subway.
This is the Bury St. Edmunds train station...I guess all train stations look like this?
Somehow we got first class seats on the train!
We figure out which stop is ours after a fairly long train ride. We get off of the subway will all of our luggage and start walking to our hotel. It's about midnight by this point but the first glimpse of London was extremely beautiful! We get to what we think it our hotel only to find out that it WAS were the hotel was located but our hotel has moved. Thanks for updating your website....back to the subway we go. We get on the subway only to realize that it's about 7 or 8 more stops in the direction we JUST came from. We finally get to our stop, find the hotel, eat dinner, and go sleep! The best part...we thought that the hotel was going to be close to Randy and Sharon's hotel (we were going to be meeting them in the morning). Oh no... because of the address confusion, we have to get up extra early and take all our luggage across town once again.
Day 2 Friday 10 Jul
Parliament and Big Ben:
Different view of Big Ben and you can see the Eye poking up on the left. This could be seen if you were standing with your back to Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey:
Picadilly Circus:
Can't really tell from the picture but just imagine NY Times Square but a whole lot nicer!
London Eye:
Here we are on the eye and you can see Big Ben and Parliament in between us.
Another Shot

Hey...everyone was doing it! It's not like we were the only tourists climbing the lion!
