London

Finally got some Wi-fi and some time to post!

So after an uncomfortable red-eye to London (the flight was fine, but sitting for 10 1/2 hrs on even the most comfortable plane is, well, not comfortable), we took the Tube (or the Underground, the subway system) to our easyHotel in the Victoria area on St. Patrick's Day. Easyhotels are very small, inexpensive hotels that are very orange inside with only the most rudimentary amenities, but we figured we could save a few pounds this way and we would be out and about town most of the time anyway. It wasn't too bad really.

Here's the Roaming Pirate in front of the London Eye, a giant ferris wheel that rotates at a nice leisurely pace and gives a lovely view of all of London. And here he is from atop it looking down at Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament across the Thames.








Here's a night view of the Cannon Street Station Bridge.



The next day we explored the Tower of London. The Pirate loved this!














I'll post more later, even though by now we're in Dublin, Ireland. Stay tuned!
