The tour officially started the morning of June 27th but I arrived there on the 26th and used the time to relax and enjoy a bit of London. I met Wendy in Toronto for the flight over and when we arrived at the hotel on the 26th, we left our bags and went out for a walk, took a few pictures, then headed back to the hotel to get things organized, have dinner. Sunday morning we decided to take the Hop on Hop off double decker buses for a tour of London.
Our hotel was right by Big Ben so this was an easy reference point.

I admit I take lots of pictures and having a digital camera makes it so easy to snap away. I like taking all kinds of pictures so you often see mixes of everything including bikes, cars and yes ever post boxes! The Mini has my name all over it, I just couldn't find enough room in my suitcase to bring it back with me. I am fascinated by so much and I want to bring home as many memories as possible from each of my trips.
