Day 1 was fun-filled indeed! Started with a surprisingly great brekkie at the hotel (bacon,eggs,sausage,beans) and then jumped straight on to an open air bus tour. Spent a bit of time on that checking out the sites and then did a cruise down the River Thames where the views were just beautiful! We saw all the major sites like Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Trafalgar square :) it's such a gorgeous city - everything is so ornate and grand and it's got such a beautiful old-world feel to it :)
We stopped in at a lovely pub for lunch where I couldn't resist but order the mini pies platter along with a Pimms and Brendan couldn't go past a traditional English lunch - bangers and mash along with a local beer :) the mash was easily the best I've had!
We spent a lot of time walking around the city just enjoying the beautiful weather and taking in the sites and ended up walking home from Oxford street.
Oh! Other fun facts - Brendan saw his first squirrel today and oh yeah - we saw Barrack Obama outside Westminster Abbey! He had just come from having lunch with the Queen which might explain why she didn't cone out to see me when I went to her house earlier!
