London Bus Tour

We took a bus tour around London this morning.  It was again led by a Blue Badge guide; Hugh was quite knowledgeable and shared lots of tidbits of London history with us.  We viewed all the major sights - Big Ben/Parliament, Westminister Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, London Bridge, The London Eye, and Buckingham Palace.  I posted LOTS of pictures to Facebook earlier.  You can tell many of them were taking from a bus - there are reflections of my camera and window frames in the way!  We did hop off a few times for some unobstructed pictures: at St. Paul's, across the river from the Tower of London, and at St. James Palace/Buckingham Palace where we watched the Changing of the Guard.  We will get more indepth visits at many of these places, but this was a great overview of the city.
