London Sights

Day 1 in London

After a 14 hour flight from Singapore yesterday we arrived in London. Today was going to be a rest day, but we ended up seeing Big Ben, the London Eye Buckingham Palace and we walked around Wimbledon town while Dad was catching up with one of his old work friends in Sloane Square. At our hotel we have a buffet breakfast included which is one of my favorite things, because I got bacon and eggs and a fruit salad, and rubbery pancakes (yucky) for breakfast. 

When we went to Buckingham Palace everybody was getting ready to see King Charlie get given a new fancy hat. It was so busy there we didn’t have much time to see the palace. But overall it was a good day.

I loved my time living in London, so I felt like a kid in a candy store being back here (or an adult finding toffee poppets at a corner store).

After showing the kids the sights, while experiencing the coronation vibe and crowds.  I took them to Wimbledon to show them where Leona and I lived. It was fun retracing the steps from my past. 

Seeing today's sights through Alyssa and Max's eyes was entertaining. Both thought where I lived was a nice area. Alyssa was surprised at how small Buckingham Palace is and Max was impressed with everything. He also spent a lot of the day refining his British accent.
