We have found it very easy to get around, we have been walking about five miles a day on average. We did the double decker bus tour which allows you to get off and on at multiple stops and included the Thames river cruise.
Today was definitely a highlight of our trip so far, Buckingham Palace! We started the day with a walk through the Queen's Gallery. It was amazing! The exhibit is titled, "In Fine Style" and details the fashion of the royals starting in the 1500's. The audio tour was so well done! I could have cried at this damn pairs of gloves...from the 1600's! Then on to the State Rooms and a special exhibit of the Queens' coronation from 1953. Again, the clothes, the jewels, the details of the coronation, all expertly exhibited to give the best experience.

After we left the palace tours, some six hours after we started, Caitlin and I headed off to shop in Mayfair. We had our sights set on some of Duchess Kate's favorite purveyors of finer things. Then my dear Caitlin stopped dead in her tracks...she just could not wrap her head around flats for $180.00 or pumps for $225.00....I know, all in due time, all in due time! We ended up at a local London shop, cute black POLKA DOT dress for $50.00!
We are ready to take on another London pub. Did I mention that I'm pretty sure I have injured my tailbone? Yeah, fell off that bar stool....a little ice, Motrin and easing up out of sitting position seems to do the trick...need to fall off another to knock it back in place..tomorrow's another day!
