747 to the West End

7:00pm PST Saturday - 300 people boarded a 747 in Seattle in anticipation of a 9 hour flight to London. Charlotte and Bradley were onboard for the duration of the flight and largly ignored the fellow passengers and slept for most of the trip.

Arriving in downtown the weather was cloudy and warm which made the city fell like home. Apparently the heat wave letup for one day and we slept well enough on the plane to spend the afternoon exploring. The itinerary ended up covering the usual west end tourist areas.

After a few hours of walking we hit our fist pub, the Lamb and Flag, for a proper pint. The place was built in the 1600’s but the Gunness was cold and fresh.

Currently the city is overrun with tourists. I can’t believe how many people, young and old, were wandering around the city chatting in every imaginable language. It reminded me of walking through Vegas or Disney world. Hopefully today (Monday) we can manage to avoid the crowds.

Pictures to come tomorrow.
