Days one and two

I must be brief. Internet access is 8 pounds for 1 hour here. First things first...

We went to Hyde Park, near to our hotel, on the first jet-lagged morning we arrived. It was a cool, crisp, sunny day with folks wandering about. We bee-lined it to the Peter Pan statue.

The thing about this park is, people have horses here and enjoy riding them around. A noble-ish "come on then!" spurred these two horses to gallop by us at a decent speed shortly after Caitlin snapped this pic.

I believe snapping one of these is customary for us silly yanks.

We then headed to a market in the northern part of town, near Notting Hill. Here's a snapshot.

The London Eye, Of course, which we later went up.

Westminster Abbey, which is fantastic on the inside (no pictures allowed though)

Later on, we noticed this. Luckily, The Doctor noticed it too, and he took care of it.

Out of sync, but Here's Big Ben and Parliament from up on the Eye (Of London, not Sauron).

This was too funny not to share. Outside of the Victoria and Albert Museum, there's a poster advertising an upcoming medieval/renaissance exhibit. Someone added an extra touch, but kept it rather tasteful. Now, instead of a medieval king, he's a Jack of Diamonds.
