Blog 3


The day started out with great news…American Airlines had received our bags from United and they made it to London. We were told we could expect our bags by early afternoon. Of course we couldn’t just sit there and wait so we headed out in the clothes we had for the third day in a row and made the most of it.

We had bought tickets for the Tower of London tour the previous day so we headed that way. We decided to take the scenic route and crossed Millennium bridge and got some good pictures. The audio tour through the Tower of London was very interesting and we spent a couple hours walking around there. After the tour, we each enjoyed our first British fish and chips meal at a local pub.

After the meal we decided to use the tube and try to get to Wimbledon. They have a great park but we weren’t able to get very close to the stadium itself. We did get to see some locals playing on grass courts and walked through the large park where many were enjoying a picnic meal or lounging under the sun.

Now, we’re finally on our way back to our hotel to see if we will get to enjoy a change of clothes. Cheers.
