Day 1

we made it to London! our flight wasn't too bad but neither of us really got much sleep on the plane and when we got here it was already 6:30 am and we couldn't check in yet.
We mostly walked around. Saw Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, & Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross (for all you Harry Potter fans!). We just had dinner (fish and chips!) and of course it's raining so we decided to stop in and check our email.
Our hotel is nice (Hotel Elysee) but the room is TINY. can barely move around in there but it's only for a few days then we're off to Brussels! don't worry - i'll bring back chocolate (if i don't eat it all by the time we get home)
The Tube is really cool, much nicer than the T. I think tomorrow we're going to go to the British Museum, Madame Toussads & the london eye.
Well i'm sure Matt is posting mostly the same stuff right now but he's across the cafe so I can't tell.
I'm sure we'll be checking back in soon so leave us comments!
Love & Miss you all!
