On Saturday morning we got up and headed to catch the train to London. Once we got to Paddington Station we ended up grabbing a cab and heading over to our hotel. 
We didn't know much about where we were staying
, but it ended up being a pretty nice place. The London Renaissance Chancery Court was right in the middle of London and it was where they filmed the Bourne Ultimatum as well! 
After we checked in we started to walk and walk and walk. We were headed down towards Buckingham Palace, but before we got there we ate at Shakespeare's Head Pub. On our walk we saw, Big Ben, Weistminster Abby, Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye. 
We then stopped at bbar, a little bar to "refresh" and then we continued our walk. This time we headed towards Buckingham Palace and the Palace Gardens. We didn't see the changing of the guards, but we did see them at the gate. Our next walk lead us through an area called Piccadilly Circus and then we were ready for dinner which we had at Restaurant Cappuccetto.
Then we were headed back to our hotel. Along the way we were stopped by a young fellow right outside of the Cuban Embassy who was telling us about the building. 
He then asked if we had any spare change and when
we said no he politely responded, "Do you mind if I rob you and you can claim insurance?" Both of my bodyguards were like "NO" and the guy walked away...like we said what a polite attempted robbing! We walked through a bunch of cool neighborhoods and saw so many things. 
We got ready and then headed out to a few quite bars before calling it a night.
All in all our first night in London was simply amazing. It is crazy being in a place so old and such a part of everything you read and see.
Sunday we got up and headed over to the other side of London to see the Tower of London and the London Bridge.
We were able to see the Crown Jewels, the Bloody To
wer, the Ravens, and Thrones of the previous Kings and Queens. These took up our entire day and after we were finished touring and snapping pictures we hopped the train back to Larson's place for the night. We then went to dinner at the an Indian Resturaunt which is the door next to Larson's for dinner. 
London was great and exhausting all at the same time! Pictures
will be to come...I don't have the patience to do them from Larson's Place...so I will update each blog with it's pictures when we get back in a week.
