May 19, 2009

We flew into London, arived at 7:30 am, got through customs and drank a bit of coffee at Costa until about 9:30 when the tube opened. From there we made our way to London's Fat Tire Bike Tour. It was SOOO cool! I rode a bike for 4 hours site seeing alllllll around London! Our tour guides were Tom and Matt. These guys aren't Aggies, but Fat Tire was started by Ags and alot of Aggies still come to work at one of Fat Tires 4 locations: London, Paris, Barcelona and Berlin. Here is a little of what we saw:
-Kensington Gardens/Palace
-Wellington Arch
-Hyde Park
-Apslet House
-Trafalgar Square
-We went to a Pub for lunch and hat Fish & Chips-- classic!
-Parliment Square
-Buckingham Palace
-Westminster Abbey
-Princess Di Memorial

Our weather switched a lot from clear and sunny to cold and rainy... kinda like Texas ;)

We stopped at our hotel, Jubilee, in Eccleston Square to do some planning, then went on a Jack the Ripper tour. I linked arms with Ash and Em the whole time because it was a wee bit chilly. From there we ate a late dinner at Hamilton Hall.
