It's a Duck, It's a Bus, It's a Boat!

While we had some extra free time, we checked out some of the train stations we hadn't stopped at before.  We stopped at Notting Hill and then Paddington of course... a classic stop for bears!








We went on a Duck Tour through London on a duck-shaped bus that turns into a boat so it can go along the River Thames.  There was a large pretty bus and then our bus was the old beat-up one called "Mistress Quickly."  The tour guide said it wasn't the prettiest bus in the fleet, but was very reliable. :)

That evening we went to the London Eye and rode in one of the pods that goes around like a Ferris wheel.  What an amazing view!

London Waterloo and more!

Went to the train station at London Waterloo to start the day... so much to see!


Shared a meat pasty at the London Eye.


Walked past Big Ben across the bridge and then to Westminster Abbey... Beautiful!



Met a horse on the way to Trafalgar Square.





 Finished the evening with a trip to Piccadilly Circus which was lit up with fair attractions and an artist market... we will have to go back when we have more time to see everything.
