It feels so good to lay down! We got to London safely and with the help of
Dawn's directions bought our zone pass and then made our way to the Underground.
We took the circle line to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge to do a little
sightseeing. Meredith and I strolled around and took some pictures, but bottom
line we were exhausted and tired from all the traveling. So we split a piece of
pizza from a little stand (which was delicious) and sat down.
There was a lot of kids on school tours that were just running crazy! And the
birds just loved dive at your head. But overall it was nice.
We had some time to kill before meeting Dawn at the Liverpool Station, so we
went to a little park Naval Memorial and just laid out in the grass. It was
really relaxing and gave us a breather.
After, we hopped back on the circle line to the Liverpool station to meet Dawn.
She told us to meet her at the Starbucks next to WHSmiths (I think that is the
name of the bookstore). So we found the bookstore and then around the corner
and upstairs we found the Starbucks. Turns out at the other end of the station
is a Starbucks right next to a WHSmiths. So we messed up a little there, but
met up around 4:45pm with enough time for Dawn to pick up flowers and a present
for one of her co-workers.
We then went back to the station, filled up our Oyster Cards (which are like a
pre-paid tube/bus type thing) and then took the train out to Dawn's zone.
After a quick little tour of her housing, Meredith, Dawn, Dawn's friend Allison
and I walked to a local Indian restaurant for dinner. The food was really
delicious and the service was fantastic.
We walked back to the housing apartments and now we are about to call it a
night.
Tomorrow Meredith and I are taking on London solely :)
