It'll be a "short" day - well, a short window of time to do things today. Jet lagged from the previous night or the current day, we are all in a london fog... We finally all get together at The North Star, a nice pub between the train station and the hotel.
Kate, Rishaun and Gwen head out to Harry Potter (Warner Bros Studios) for an fabulous tour...
Dean to the hotel for a nap.
And Phil and I to London for some site seeing... If you wanted more about HP, sorry, wrong blog author... We headed to Trafalgar Square to get a lay of the land and "save" some of the main sites for the group. We are striken by the size of the square as well as the flood of people there.
From there it was an easy stroll to Big Ben (unfortunately under restoration). We walked around the Houses of Parliament which was quite impressive despite all of the construction.
Overcome by thrist, we stopped for a couple of pints, then strolled to the other side of the Thames, and wandered into another pub, the Leake Street Arches (graffiti tunnel) and finally found the Waterloo station for the return trip home to catch the England-Netherlands game at our pub (we are staying above it).
