Mama & Papa Bean in London

To finish off their Mediterranean adventure, Mama & Papa Bean spent a few days exploring the wonderful London.  God save the Queen!

The flight to London was fine, but using the tube to get from the airport to the hotel was challenging. We were supposed to change at South Kensington on the Picadilly line, to the District line… but that line was closed, so we had to get back on a different line, ride it much further than we should have to switch to another to then get off at the Bank stop and walk quite a bit from there… while carrying big bags up and down stairs. And part way through, the handle broke off the extension for one of the big bags! After getting into the hotel, we were happy to just get a bite and enjoy a glass of wine and pint of beer. 

We spent most of the next day doing a City Walk from Trafalgar Square to London Bridge. This included a tour of St Pauls’ Cathedral.

The following day we toured the Tower of London, which we could walk to… and then the Westminster area. We started with a ride on the London Eye, then did a walking tour to see Big Ben, the Parliament Buildings, etc.

On June 4th, we braved the tube again to get to the airport – and it went smoothly. After our 8 hour flight and drive home, our great Mediterranean holiday was over.  

The next big one?  Australia?
