The day was started at 6 am to ensure enough time to get to the eurostar to catch the chunnel to London. We arrived with plenty of time and and spent a good while chilling in the train station. Kendra was in a different cabin from Kelley and I but she ensures us she watched the scenery while Kelley and I attempted to sleep. It was a struggle once again with the luggage and learning the transportation systems. The combination bus and tube stations just are clear to us Americans that were raised on cars and planes. Needless to say, we got lost multiple times today and still probably couldn't find our way back. We figured we'd kick London off traditional style and take a double Decker bus tour. We didn't hit all the spots since we got off to ensure a free boat tour. While waiting for the boat, we grabbed a quick snack. I got a flake ice cream and Kelley and Kendra split a burger. While I couldn't stand the burger (because I love my American burgers) Kelley and Kendra were in love with the burger. They loved the bun and the different cheese. (I'm told to use italics, bold, stars, flashing, and other crazy things to portray just how amazing they thought the bread was). On the bus ride, it started to rain but fortunately they had ponchos for us so we looked even more like tourists. We hope to go tomorrow to catch more of the sights but since London is so big it gives a quick and nice overview of all the sights. On our boat ride back, Kelley decided that she wanted the commentator (tour guide) to adopt her as his granddaughter. Right now, we're sitting in the pub downstairs from the hostel drinking a beer and enjoying the wireless. It is a cool atmosphere and somewhat relaxing after a stressful, getting lost day.
