Today we took the train to London, with a short detour to a quilt shop in Bath. With the purchase of an "oyster" card and multi-day pass, we now have unlimited use of subways and buses in the central parts of London. After a brief stop to purchase "Lion King" tickets, the rest of the day was spent touring the downtown area. We stumbled across the Portrait Gallery, and stopped for a quick look. What a great museum, much more interesting than the name suggests. By the way, most of the major museums in London are free! What a great bonus for our trip.
London Eye from Westminster Bridge. The line to take a ride was way too long for our patience.
The Eye from St. James Park (near Buckingham Palace). Our feet were killing us, or we would have stopped by and had tea with the Queen
Still near the palace, but limping back to the subway
Pub of the day (near Parliament, and packed with bureaucrats)
