So, here we are. The end of our first day touring (well day 2 on the itinerary). We are very tired but we saw quite a bit of London today! Our tour director, Vico, is great! He's been the hero of the day. Let me back up...
We landed in Iceland and went through their customs and security and went on to London. When we arrived and cleared customs in London we waited for our transfer director to meet us...and we waited...and we waited...and then a coach driver approached us and told us to come with him. So we did. It was the right bus...but still no leader from Explorica. We were eventually united with her and the other (very small) groups from around the US and we were off to the hotel to drop off our things and hit the tube to see the city! The tardy transfer director finally handed us over to our REAL tour director (thus the reason to call him the hero). Lots of fun, funny, quirky...all around great tour leader! He sure kept us as a quick pace though. After the tardiness of the other, he had to make up that lost time.
We're at our hotel (and it's very nice) and the kids are sound asleep --they could barely keep their eyes open after the fish and chips dinner, the poor darlings.
Buckingham Palace and about a hundred other things tomorrow (some free time too, whew).
When in Rome...or Paris...or...
