Brett and I arrived that Saturday morning at Heathrow Airport in London at 11:15 with only about two hours of sleep. Sleep didn't matter because we were excited to be in London for the week celebrating our one year anniversary. We got our luggage and took a 90 minute tube (metro) ride and then caught a double decker bus to our stop, and then walked up a hill to the Hart's place. The Hart's are our good friends who are doing an expatriate opportunity in London. They were in Switzerland for the holiday weekend, but had left their key with a neighbor for us to get in. After getting situated, taking a shower, and eating some cereal we decided to push through the jet lag and start the exploration of the city.
North Greenwich (the view from the Hart's)
Tired, but hey we are on a Double Decker bus
Victoria & Albert Museum
I thought this was cool
Brett wanted to see DaVinci's notebook so bad
Here's a closer look
We stopped at Harrod's after and had a delicious cheese pretzel and baklava.
A pricey six story department store that is awesome, but expensive!
As you can see we did pretty good on our first day in London. We may have only had a couple hours of sleep on the plane, but we were successful in executing our plan! :) It made going to bed that night very fulfilling!
