When we set off in the morning to catch the tour bus, we met a very nice man who showed us different famous places in London (or the city of Westminster actually). We saw the Westminster Abby - though we didn't go in it, and the courts, St Paul's cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the Gate Tower and a few others that have since slipped my mind.....ah like Downing Street as we drove by. I was a little overwhelmed by the history and all the stories that he told. Hundreds of years of history. It will take me some time to sort it all out.
It was fun to watch him direct the ladies. He was making sure we didn't wander across a street as we kept looking the wrong way first. But at every stop there were signs on the road top telling us which way to look. Convenient as the English have odd turns and angles flowing off of streets. The guide made sure we watched the walk lights and only went over when the green walking man lit up. Every time we set out, he would herd us back together and tell us something more. The only times we actually stayed together was when Sister Van Woerkom (Heidi) took a picture of all of us.
