    Day 3 - London

    October 15, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Fortunately, we both got a decent amount of sleep and woke up around 7:00am. Off to the races around 8:30 and managed to catch the first Big Bus (“HoHo”) down towards the river. Spent the entire day riding the bus all around London save and except a short but sweet cruise down the River Thames to the London Tower. Beautiful blue sky all day but definitely an autumn chill in the air. Not many pictures cuz it’s difficult getting them while on the bus. We were schooled a bit on Big Ben…it is only the bell that is Big Ben; the tower that houses it, as of 2012, was renamed the Elizabeth Tower on the occasion of Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, celebrating 60 years on the British throne. We headed back up to our neck of the woods and after a brief rest, headed out to a Malaysian restaurant that I had read about. Clearly lots of other people had as well as there was a rather large line up to get in; ended up having pizza elsewhere that was soooo good, we ordered a second one…both of which were topped with warmed honey - delicious 😋Read more
