We are alive and (mostly) well in London! Our flight was uneventful, though cramped - they really do squish as many seats together as possible... We arrived in London on Wednesday morning having gotten very little sleep - I think Sophie got the most with maybe 3 hours. After a long cab ride to our apartment that seemed to take us close to many, many landmarks, we settled into the spacious and perfectly adequate apartment before then setting out on our first adventure. We thought taking one of those hop-on, hop-off bus tours around the city would be a good way to get the lay of the land and see things as a start, plus we needed to make sure we stayed awake so we could adjust to the time change. I think the bus ride was something like 3 hours long. Most of my pictures are on my real camera, but I got a few on my phone to include here.

Sarah and Sophie being silly...
We weren't as successful at staying awake. Dad slept a lot (shocking, I know...), and Sarah and I also dozed off at one point. We made our way back to the apartment (the tube is very easy to use) and had a quick dinner of packaged food from the grocery store (don't judge, we were exhausted...) before going to bed. I just woke up after 10 uninterrupted hours of sleep. Guess I was tired...
