Yesterday we left the hotel early, before 9am, which is very early for us. A small miracle, really. We were jet-lagged and couldn't sleep, so we decided to take off early.
We signed up for one of those dorky bus tours where you can get on and off at will. We should have done the carbon-free walking tour, but my new "walking" shoes are really uncomfortable so we took the lazy choice on the bus. We did get a nice overview of the city and took advantage of the river cruise (included). A few observations:
1. English people love gardens.
2. They are more formal, starting with the schoolchildren in tiny, neat uniforms.
3. The food is not as bad as I thought (mostly international).
Our day in the city ended at the Tate Modern, but we hit a wall of fatigue by that time, so we had to take a break after each floor of art. I can't remember much of what we saw, save the Austrian expressionist pieces with bandages, needles, and self-mutilation featured. Cheery stuff.
Today we attempt the British Museum and afternoon tea if all goes well.
