A Bus Tour of London

Sunday, February 7, 2010

All of yesterday was dominated by a bus tour of London, followed by a walking tour. The bus tour was really cool. We went all around London and saw most of the touristy sites. We saw St. Paul's Chapel, Westminister Abbey, Parliament, Big Ben, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and other sites. The best part of the trip was the fact that we got to stay in the bus most of the time. It was nice to be able to relax and see the sites in a non-walking manner. I did like the walking tours, but it was a little much to have them in a succession of days. Plus, our tour guide was really nice and really informative. Overall, it was the best tour of all of them.



After the bus tour, we got a walking tour of the area around our flats. This was really cool because we got to see the stuff that was around us. The best site was the canal that goes through our little area. We are in an area called Little Venice in the City of Westminister, which is a borough of London. The main attraction of the area is the canal that runs through it. One can travel by this canal to various parts of the city including the zoo. There were also houseboats docked on the canal, which was cool. Basically, we live in a very interesting and cool part of London.
As for today, there isn't much to report on. I went to a couple of the sites that we saw yesterday, but that was about it. I also rode the tube by myself today, which was cool.

Until Next Time,
