These photos are from our first day in London. We started in Westminster with Big Ben, the Parliment buildings, Westminster Abby, and the Imperial War Museum (specifically, the underground bunker where Churchill had his War Rooms). This was one of the best days of the trip.

The photo below is only one of many photos we took in the War Rooms. This particular one is right next to Churchill's private bedroom (where he rarely stayed during the war). They said that some of the men would often stash candy in envelopes in various places throughout the war rooms to be gotten into when needed. They know this because they found such envelops forty years after the war was over.

Below is a video of one of the strange :amphibious tour buses "they had around town in London. Actually, I don't think they really go int other water any more, nor do I think they have more than one of these - but it was pretty funny to see. There's also a quick look at a modern double-decker bus.

Yay, pictures!! I wish I could be there with Kim and David to hear all your stories.
Looks fun. I wish now I had visited the underground war rooms. Looking forward to other pictures and exploits.
