Today was a day for flying, and then the train...SOO excited! We have finally made it to the United Kingdom...we're in London!
As we exited the plane we walked past photo after photo of real British people with their arms open wide saying "welcome". But I have to say, I felt really welcome when we discovered that customs is divided into British and Others...and they have put the Commonwealth countries under British. Bless their hearts!

| Benjamin Bunny caught the Tube. |
We got our phone sim at the airport under advice from a friend, and moved on to luggage. This was where we practiced the art of waiting, and waiting and waiting! The baggage hall was nearly empty when our bags came out...mine was the last. But at least I had time to swap out my sim.

| This is not our accommodation...but just enjoying the British buildings. |
We caught the Tube on the Piccadilly Line to Earl Court. As we came out of the tunnels we both excitedly pointed out different buildings that we spotted...all so British! The joy of walking down the road past pubs and rows of terrace houses...to our accommodation. I chose a wee flat that happens to be just opposite a large Tesco shop. But note to self...check how many flights of stairs there are. We are flat 7, so that means three double flights of stairs. But it could have been worse, there is another double flight of stairs.
