London!

Finally I arrived at the last place of my trip.  I got to see many sights today and go quite a bit checked off thanks to the London bike shares. 

I arrived early in the morning at 10am. I have been to Buckingham Palace from the last time I transfered busses to go to Cambridge.  After I got off the bus I took out a bike share and it was easily the best decision I made today.  Without it i would have spent ages walking from attraction to attractions. 

Among the things I saw today were the Tates art museum,  British museum,  Big Ben,  London Bridge,  Tower Bridge,  Tower of LONDON and various other small attractions along the way. 

The best part of my day was just the biking itself.  I wasn't particularly impressed with either of the museums I went to.  And the worst attraction was the Royal Academy of Art which had a new artists exhibit.  It was very modern and abstract and I just went Wtf as these people received awards for these pieces of crap.

In the evening I grabbed an Oyster card and met up with my friend Adam.  Adam is a new friend I met recently in Munich among others.  He is teaching Math and Science at one of the schools here in London but he was originally from Australia.  He has school tomorrow so he had to head off to bed earlier.

why the long face?
