I began my Winter European Tour in the shiny city of London. I think I may have fallen in love with the city. It was crazy, busy and oh-so-exciting. We rode the Tube and walked so much. In my 24 hours there I saw so much, and there was so much more I didn't see. It was such an adventure though.
Lórien and I started the night at high tea as a birthday celebration- it was so fancy. Champagne and a live piano player and silver foil on desserts. Then we wandered a bit, saw some of the classic London sights, though Big Ben is under renovation right now so it was more scaffolding than clock. The lights reflecting off the Thames was beautiful. We went to a couple pubs and I had my first pint of Guinness. The next day we wandered through Hyde Park, the Winter Wonder Land, and by Buckingham Palace. After that we spent some time at the Camden Markets, which were huge and colorful. We went into some lovely and interesting shops. We went to Paris that, which was a difficult travel to say the least. But we made it and will be exploring this next capital of the world in full force tomorrow.
