London is great, free wi-fi hard to find




Sorry it has taken so long to post! Free wi-fi has been very difficult to come by, but we finally found a McDonald's close by that has it! Yay! We're having a wonderful time although jet-lag makes it very difficult to get up the morning! The first day we got here we wondered around like zombies looking at some of the sights, but we were really too late to get into anythiing. Saturday we took a tour bus with a tour guide to Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge. Windsor Castle was beautiful! Bath is a quaint little town. Stonehenge would have been a lot cooler, but the bus driver had to turn around literally 5 times including backing the bus half way down a tiny street in Bath. By the time we got to Stonehenge, it was closed. Fortunately, we were able to see it from outside the fence. Yesterday, we enjoyed Green Park, Buckingham Palace, Wellington Arch, and walking around the edge of the River Thames. We also bowled with our free bowling pass at Namco, which is kind of like Main Event. We thought it was quite hilarious that we were bowling in London, of all things, but the free wi-fi lured us there. Unfortunately, I didn't have the computer, just Blake's phone. Today is our last day in London so we're packing it in. I'll have to post pictures later because we've got to get going. Love to all!
