Day 4 London Pass
Day 4 began with a stop by MacDonald's, because our internet had completely died that morning. After sending yet more SOS banking emails, we collected our London Passes and began seeing the city. A London Pass essentially allows you to get into all the major attractions for a certain number of days for a fixed price. As most things in London are extremely expensive (we're talking 10 - 20 pounds a person for non-state-owned museums) it ends up paying for itself very quickly, and saves penny pinchers like us the agony of standing outside places like St. Paul's Cathedral wondering if 17.50 GBP a person is really worth it. On day three we saw Nelson's Column in Trafalgar square, the Household Calvary Museum, and Matthew's favorite, the Winston Churchill and War Cabinets Museum.

Churchill's underground room where he stayed during the air raids of London, when he wasn't watching from the roof...

Then we ate lunch in a stunning park, complete with huge white birds happily posted in the middle of the river on big rocks. Then we trotted off to Baker Street, as in 22B Baker Street, and finished the day with the London Zoo.


As you can see, the London zoo is a very special place :). We have more pelican personal grooming photos...to be posted later.


After arriving at our special little guest house, we made a trip to the local supermarket right before closing to buy a bunch of day-old pastries that were marked way down. Glorious pastries. We also decided to splurge on a Domino's pizza for dinner. Not as good as our Guri Domino's though.
