Day 1 & 2

Hello everyone!! Luckily we have internet access here in London at our hotel, and Jake just happened to bring his Laptop. So I'll try to post as we go, but I don't think I'll be able to on the cruise, we'll see. Anyway, this is our Day 1 & 2, because it basically took us that long to get here. The flight was not good, I mean it wasn't bad except that it was about an hour late leaving Texas, some auto-pilot malfunction that was stuck in test mode and had to get reprogrammed and then trying to sleep on that thing was a joke!! We landed in London at about noon which is 8 hours later than Arizona....which would be....4am your time. We decided to just stay awake and then take sleeping pills London nighttime so we wouldn't have any jet lag. I think it worked. Anyway, here's some pics of what we did.

In London, our hotel, Peckham Lodge, I was scared but very pleased, we even have our own bathroom and don't have to share with neighbors. We were so stinkin' tired lugging our luggage around on the tube, train and bus and trying to figure out the systems. Craziness I tell you!! We freshened up at the hotel and then went out to Harrods. It's a very famous shopping mall of sorts, but VERY expensive. You just basically look and maybe buy something to eat or little trinkets.

Here's Harrods on the outside

We saw this interesting child's dress. It looked like a bunch of tutu's put together in a dress form. Anyone want to guess how much this was????

Sorry, a little sideways...It was 799.00 Pounds which is like $1200. Pocket change people, pocket change.

This is one of the ceilings going up the escalator. Harrods had like 5 or 6 floors.

These look like nice men's jackets right, well they could also save your life. How you ask? They are bullet proof, yup, bullet proof. Not very cool for Arizona weather, so I passed it up.

They even had a shrine of sorts for Princess Diana and her guy friend who were killed. They even had her ring in the center of that pyramid thingy. Very pretty. If you click on the picture you'll get a better picture of the ring.

In the food part there was a cute old guy cutting up fresh fish. There were a ton of fish on display in the front of him.

I can't complain...the weather here is usually cloudy and rainy. I think we brought the sun with us. Great day for pictures. It's going to be that way for the next few days, which is great because we'll be here for those days and then leave. Pictures are no fun in the rain, so I'll take the sun. Besides, it's only like low 70's here. Great huh? Well...I'll write again soon about what we did on day 3 here in London. Bye for now.
