George carries his backpack for the first time.
Molly and George ride a London double decker bus for the first time.
Well, today is Day 25 of our trip - just 155 more to go! I know that probably sounds silly to the reader, but we can't believe how quickly this is going past. Today, we made it to London.
We left Holland at 7 am to drive to the airport in Brussels (you know, cheap flights and deals on rental cars). Luckily for the kids, one of the cows on the farm gave birth about 6 am, so we got to see a new born calf just before leaving. The 180 km drive was uneventful, as was the one hour flight to London. Then, we took a subway and a train to get to our rental apartment in south London about 3 pm. This place is very nice - a little two storey place with one bed and two sofa beds. Delightfully for us, it has lightning fast Internet and a good washer/dryer.
After sorting out our stuff, we headed back downtown for a quick tour of Trafalgar Square and Oxford Circus, and walked past the crowds headed into the West End theatres for tonight's shows. Rather than take the subway back to the train station, we took a bus. The kids loved sitting in the front row upstairs. It's like a free amusement park ride and city tour rolled into one.
Now, I'm sitting on the couch sipping a beer and writing this post. We'll all be headed to bed soon. The weather is supposed to be great this weekend, so we'll be doing a lot of walking.
