London Times

Ok, one more post before we go home. One really surprising thing about London is how much daylight there is. Being this far north, the sun sets around 10pm and seems to be back up again around 4am. Perhaps the roots of British efficiency are in all that daylight--there sure is a lot of time to do things. On top of that, the weather is the nicest we've had in weeks.

Yesterday we went to Kew Gardens in the morning, and some of the famous sites in the afternoon (Big Ben, Tower Bridge, etc). We then had the spiciest meal I've had the entire trip at a Thai restaurant recommended by the owner of our flat. Yummy!

Today we plan to hit some museums, starting with the British Museum. We bet we will see treasures collected from many of the ports we have visited! Stops at Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, and more are possible as well. We'll try not to exhaust ourselves on this last day before we get on the plane home tomorrow, but with so much sunlight, it is tempting.

Pics: Some from Ireland since I didn't post any there--Jr at the Titanic Belfast museum; rowers on the Liffey in Dublin. London--Tower Bridge and the Egg; minding the gap on the Tube.
