Red Bus tour

We went on one of those touristy buses- in fact London traffic is red buses, taxis, bikes, vans and a smattering of cars.

I was amazed at the breadth and scope and history in London- the tower of London was a mystery- what preconceived ideas did I have?  We are planning to make a day trip of this attraction.  We loved the details of gothic features in the Westminster building, Big Ben, the short Thames ride, the wonderful history and splendour of St.Pauls- all must do tours shortly.
Hopefully next week, we'll be able to help with the new baby- that's if it plans to arrive then.
Meanwhile we still have trouble with English currency...but revelling in the streets that have little traffic- no traffic noise at all at night...

Thanks Jan, great to have you catching up with our tour- Rochelle saw a stork fly near the opposite building to where we are- obviously still not time for the baby to come- hopefully within the next week.

Still loving your blog - what a great job Kel is doing as tour guide and photographer! Madeline is just gorgeous - such a wonderful experience for you all- thought of you as I watched the Chelsea flower show on tv - as much about art as flowers?! xx Jan and Stacey
