I stepped off the plan and right into a movie with 'London Calling' as the soundtrack. I expected accents, and beautiful buildings, people rushing about while some just walking around in a daze but no about of expectation could prepare me for the overwhelming feeling of actually being here.
I had one full day in the city, and my goodness my friend was determined to show me it all! I meet Nina at 10:30am at Bond Street station and off we were to the Wallace Museum. Now the thing about Nina is she is the type of person to say "Yeah, lets do that!", and actually do 'that'. This led to getting a taxi ride just a few blocks just so we could ride in a typical little black cab, going full out tourist and going on a sightseeing bus, walking to the london eye, going to the Globe theatre, having lunch in an english pub, and going to a bar in Soho before heading home. All in one day. My calves were not ready for that one.
But the coolest part of the day, meeting this guy....
Pretty much as friendly as they come, and with the accent and all, your typical wonderfully-dressed English police man!
Ok, London, you've won me over in a day. Lets see what else you can deliver!
