We had been in London for almost 2 full days and haven’t really seen any of the major sights, so that is what we did to start the day. The tube is easy enough, but you can tell it is the clearly the best option for commuters too because it gets packed. We had our kindle ready to learn lots of information, then we realized there was an audio version of the tour, but it just wouldn’t download, oh well. This meant I got to be the tour guide as we explored some of the most famous parts of London. Stuff like Big ben, Westminster abbey, Whitehall road, the Prime Minsters home, Trafalgar square, really all the big things on the main road.
During our walk we took a detour to Churchill’s War Rooms. That is such a cool place, especially for any history buffs. Full of amazing little things about what was going on during the bombings of London and a little museum just about Churchill’s life. Check it out if you are in London!!
After a full morning of walking it was time for lunch, so we found a pub…for some grub.
Chandos was a great recommendation from Mr. Steves. Great to finally get that British beer and complete the beer in every country I have been to. The fish and chips were so good, but the best part was the sticky toffee pudding. IT WAS AMAZING!! WE will definitely need to figure out how to make this at home (we did, it was good, but not as good as the pub made it).
After lunch was the National Gallery full of some amazing art. Even though I am not a huge fan of art, it was really amazing. We even saw paintings from 3 out of the 4 ninja turtles, no Donatello though. Took some pictures of our favorites and it is hard to describe the awesomeness. Our favorite was a Da Vinci that wasn’t even finished because he didn’t like how it was coming out. Yeah ok dude, its awesome (check it out above). They even had a room that my wife almost died in because she loves Monet and they had some up. She has always wanted to see a Monet in person!
Dinner was next on the list and we had some delicious Indian food. Had to be some of the richest tikka masala I ever had. Nice simple day of sight seeing.
