As many of you know Linda and I took a trip to London. \u00a0Linda went on a business trip then I joined her and we spent 5 days in London. \u00a0Before I got there the weatherman predicted rain every day of our holiday. \u00a0When we were sitting in the terminal waiting for our plane home we saw our first drops.<\/p>\n

We stayed at a hotel that was perfect for our visit. \u00a0It was not real fancy but it was clean, reasonably priced and the best possible location I could imagine. \u00a0We got a 7 day TravelCard which allowed us to ride all the trains, subways and buses in London, and we put it to good use. \u00a0Most of our days were spent zipping here and there checking out all the typical London attractions although more than once we just hopped on a bus and went that-a-way to see what was out there. \u00a0Our favorite spots were the Tower of London and the various markets we visited.<\/p>\n

I could write pages about what we did and things we learned but instead I will offer a few pictures and tips;<\/p>\n
