The weather today was wonderful, bloody cold, but good enough to hit the open top bus tour. We took the original yellow tour and had a fantastic guide who was very British and very opinionated (same thing I suppose) and very funny. It all made for a great couple of hours touring around London. We saw all the sites, Big Ben, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Westminster Abbey. We then got on the blue tour which took us to Harrods. Man that place is amazing. Kris wanted to buy all her friends back home a pressie but I said bugger ‘em, I’m not carrying a suitcase load of crappy presents around for 6 weeks, so she got herself an el cheapo souvenir bag instead, much better idea (my apologies if you are one of those friends). After that it was off to look at Buckingham Palace, but of course, that was cut short by one of Tyler’s fifty eight toilet breaks for the day. We will have to rearrange that one for tomorrow as the closest toilet was in the next time zone. Then, off to the pub (which is about 15m from our front door) and then out for dinner. It’s now 8:30 and we are shagged, the kids are in bed and we’re not far behind them.
Mia's comments: We went on a bus tour that took us past Buckingham Palace. Tyler needed to go to the toilet and we ended up having to go to a hotel. We couldn't get a ticket to Buckingham Palace because they had none left so Mum said we could go tomorrow.

Tylers comments: Today we woke up but Mia slept in. We ran after the buses for 20 minutes and eventually got a bus. It was an open top bus and it was a double decker bus. We travelled for 2 hours until we got off to have lunch. There was a guide talking to us about all the buildings and places we went past. We saw Big Ben, the London Eye, the London Bridge, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey where Prince William and Kate got married. Then we went shopping at Harrods. Mum bought a bag. Then we went home and went to a restaurant called Cantina Laredo.
