London

On Wednesday we took the train from Winchester to London. We arrived at Waterloo Station around noon and didn't have to be at the airport until 4, so we did a little more sight-seeing, this time from the other side of the Thames.

Waterloo Station and the staute right outside. The statue is in honor of the British people who helped so many European children travel to safety during the early days of WWII.

These 3 pictures are the scene outside Waterloo Station. The taxi queue, a special taxi that we liked because of its Brazil theme, and the horseback bobbies with all the bikes.




From Waterloo we walked past the London Eye (the giant ferris wheel which is pictured in our first posting of this trip) and in front of the Movieseum. There we saw several Dali statues and had another beautiful view of Parliament across the Thames.





We then walked to a really pretty pub and had Fish and Chips - appropriate for our "last meal".





Then we again negotiated the tube successfully and made it to Stansted in plenty of time for our flight. It was a great trip!
