Day 1

Our objective for Day 1, as stated on the official itinerary which I created, was to, "stay awake!" We arrived in London around 7:30 am London time, which would have been 1:30 am US Central time. Allison slept more than I did on the flight, but we were both exhausted. However, with almost 6 hours until we could check into the hotel, we proceeded to wander the city in a near drunken stupor.


Of course, my wife is beautiful even after a 9 hour flight and no sleep. We then proceeded to familiarize ourselves with the local flora and fauna in Hyde Park.




Then we ran across this thing below. I'm not sure what it is, but it looks cool.





Next, we made our way to Trafalgar Square, which was sadly obscured by construction. Got some pics of the lions out front before we grabbed lunch in The Crypt at St. Martin-in-the-Field (An old church with a deli in the actual crypt underneath.)


After we ate our tuna sandwich lunch, we continued to roam the streets, heading in the general direction of St. Paul's Cathedral.

Below are The Royal Courts of Justice.
