It was a great journey to London though there were hurdles in our trip. Most important thing what our children liked was the time with Thomas Family.
The first day was little horrendous with all the children, trying to fit everyone together in the underground train. We went in the River Thames by cruise which was a great opportunity to gaze at various historic buildings and places. Guide was explaining all about various historic moments like London fire, famous plagues, The great London Stink, places of executions, trenches etc. London tower bridge, London Eye, St Paul's cathedral Gherkin, Millennium dome Shakespeare globe . Parliament, Big Ben, London Metro Police HQ, Wharf and in the end was Greenwich Meridian was eye catching experience to all of us. Just visited observatory situated on a hill top overlooking River Thames and saw the Greenwich line which represents the Prime Meridian of the world- longitude 0 degree and it was such a beautiful site from the top.
The first place we visited was the Buckingham palace where the queen resides, hoping to see the guards change over at 11 am, however it was heavily crowded and we had Ethan with us.
Guide was explainig all about first public lavatories came into exixtence and started spending penny and how the expression of 'spend a penny' came.

In River Thames
London Bridge is falling down....not London Bridge , it is Tower bridge.

Most of the second day trip were spent in London sight seeing bus , could hear the commentary inside the bus and we got down in few places like St Paul's cathedral and to have food and play.
On our way back from London, we spent some time with our friends and cousins. We halted at Thomas family for a day to celebrate our Godson's 7th birthday and it a great time.
