We're here. We're tired. But we made the most of today ... after getting some coffee at the airport we took the train to a stop near our hotel, The Wellington. After a short break to wash up, we walked down to Parliament Square, took a quick trip through Saint Margaret's, saw Big Ben, the London Eye (we nearly went on it, but decided against it after eyeing the line). We then ate lunch at a restaurant called The Slug and the Lettuce - we all agreed we'd never eaten at a place with the word "slug" in it, but it was tasty nonetheless. We then went to Westminster Abbey and took a 1.5 hour tour with a man who was knowledgeable, yet strangely persistent that the Cloisters would be very cold this time of year. We went anyway - it wasn't so bad.
Oh, and somewhere along the way we also paid to use public restrooms. They were quite clean.
We're all in good spirits, if a bit tired. We're back at the hotel to take naps to rest up before a proper dinner at a pub nearby. Love to all back at home!
