The best way to get around London is to take the Underground - which we have been doing. However, the stations are jammed with people and to get on the train you have to take the lift a.k.a. elevator down. I encouraged the girls to take the steps with me and they did - all 175 of them down and all 175 steps up! Since we took the underground twice yesterday we did a total of 700 stairs! The girls are about to kill me, but I keep telling them they'll thank me later when their legs look good!
Yesterday - the City of London public workers went on strike causing a slight disruption in our plans. We went to the Tower of London which houses the crowned jewels. Amazing! Afterwards our bus dropped us at Covent Gardens for lunch and shopping. Covent Gardens is an outdoor area filled with shops, restaurant and is the home for the Royal Ballet. It is lively, filled with music, street performers and an outdoor market.
Later that evening we took a double decker bus to the theatre district where we saw "Legally Blonde" - the girls loved it! We found a lovely place for dinner and made it back to the hotel around 1:00 a.m. A great day and evening in London.
