More London




We definitely have got the hang of the tube and trains. The crying and screaming doesn't even seem to bother anyone. (except for the people who get up and leave). Peter said yesterday are we at Charring Cross yet? We seem to be covering a fair bit of ground or at least we are moving a lot. Yep we made our way through some of the "must do's : Tower of London, Big Ben and the like and have made a few day trips out on the BritRail. Bath was a good outing and was real interesting those Romans..., Rob still figures that there must be some sort or a write off for this trip after investigating the history of hot tubbing from 4500 years ago. We also made it up to Windsor Castle, there were enough swords for Peter. Back to the trains, they have been fun except for the "bloke" that sat across from Livy on the way back from Bath. The fellow was heading to Reading to watch the Liverpool vs Chelsea football match. After about 4 Longbows he was getting pretty enthusiastic about telling about his country and spitting all over Olivia. We figure he was just pretty excited to get the afternoon off. Today Abby,Ruby,Peter and Natalie took the day off from touring and just hung around Catford (where we are staying) with dad. The area is full of activity, Rob likes to go out and see the merchants early in the morning especially the "fruiterer" hollering out "scoop for a pound any scoop for a pound".The rest of the group headed out to Camden Lock ,apparently there were some good lines used up there by the vendors. Em and Sarah came home today from Camden themselves on the tube, Jackie and Olivia stayed and went to the Orangery for tea. We must be starting to get a little taste of London...
