On Saturday we took one of the tour buses around the city. We had a great commentator (named Kevin), who was fun and witty. It was a wonderful way to see an overview of this diverse city. Here are some of the highlights...
The bus: we sat up top.
Kevin - our guide.
Interesting fact: Big Ben is named for the bell inside, not the clock tower.
A city of contrasts: from old structures to new ones, the London Eye.
It's the second tallest ferris wheel in the world.
View of Tower Bridge over the Thames.
In it's heyday the bridge was raised 5 times a day and now, maybe 5 times a week.
St. Paul's Cathedral: where 'Feed the Birds' was sung in Mary Poppins
(but you musical lovers already knew that).
The bells were ringing as we drove by (Laura says for a wedding, there was a bride and groom on the steps). Really spectacular to drive through these narrow streets, full of history, with so many sights and sounds all around us. The weather was rainy at times, but in typical London fashion it changed quickly. We were able to hop off and on the bus, so when it rained we'd hop off, eat, drink, and shop, then we'd hop back on.
You have shared great information.Thanks for sharing.....
