London was such an incredible city. Although the weather was a bit drab while we were there, we still managed to have a wonderful time. (My hunter boots came in handy) We stayed right by the London Eye, and had picturesque views of the city within a 2-minute walk from our hotel. Our first day was a kind of blur, seeing that we had an overnight flight and I didn't sleep too well on the plane. (Kiel was out like a light of course) We took the tube from the airport, which was an interesting experience. Mind the Gap! Our metro stop was Westminster Abbey, and when we walked up those stairs to the street, Big Ben was staring us right in the eye. We checked-in to our hotel by the early afternoon and the rest was history. We adjusted well to the time difference and spent the next four days touring the city like crazy. It was an incredible place, full of history. I would recommend it to anyone.
