Updates

Apologies to all of our adoring readers for not updating for a couple of days. Unfortunately, nothing too exciting has been happening.

Tuesday was highlighted by a visit to the Sea Life Aquarium. We passed on the feeding of the sharks, but seeing 3 different kinds of shark swimming around in a big tank was very cool. Turtles, big and small, were very popular too. Pictures may be coming, but it was hard to get good pictures there. We also had a quick stroll past Westminister Palace and Big Ben, but we'll probably visit again on a nicer day.

Wednesday was a dark and damp day, so no tourist activity for us. Relaxing (and school work) instead.

Today was actually a nice sunny day here in London, so we took advantage and visited some of the nice outdoor attractions in London. First stop was Buckingham Palace where we stumbled upon a huge crowd. It turned out that we were right on time for the changing of the guard. Didn't get a great view because of the huge crowd, but we saw bits and pieces of it anyway.

We then had a nice lengthy stroll through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Unfortunately, late September isn't a great time to view all of the flora and fauna of the Gardens.

Finally, we had a little visit with Michael Caine. Well, we saw him at a book signing at least. Actually, I saw his hair and forehead and Nicole saw his hair. But, it was neat anyway.
