Off to a bad start....

To start off our trip to London, I walked onto a bus to find a dying bird. It was horrible!!! The bus driver wouldn't do anything about it, so I had to pick it up and put it outside. I petted and talked to the bird hoping to make his last moments on Earth a little more peaceful. Then on our connecting bus to the train station, the bus driver yelled at us because we didn't know our stop. I'm really getting sick of the rude people over here, it's really rather appalling. Now I know why everyone thinks Canadians are so nice!!!!

While in London we had a busy 36 hours. We saw all the big landmarks (Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Westminister Abbey, St.Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, etc, etc.). I have to say I wasn't really in love with London. It was so big, with so many people....by the end of our trip I couldn't wait to leave. I can't believe I'm saying that!!!! Perhaps we've been travelling too much and are run down. I know I'm getting tired of always being wet and cold. God, if anyone else would have said this too me a few months ago, I would have been so annoyed with them. But maybe London isn't the city for me or Kelly.

Anyways....hope you enjoy the pics....

BigBen and Parliament...

Regent Street (Great shopping...if you have buckets of money!!!)....

Ladies, Ladies, I am sure it can't/won't be that bad..... I am back in BW today and am cracking it open in 10 minutes. I will have a stress ball in one hand so that I will not feel the need to destroy the book like Melissa said I will feel like doing :o)
