London Day 1 and 2

First Day:
Came from airport with no hitches, smooth ride and everything went as planned. We came to Ela's house (my mom's friend in London) and met her two kids: Kasia and Tom. Kasia proved to be a very helpful guide and helped us plan a lot of our stay there. So we arrived at their house around noon and we were so exhausted we decided to just hang out at their place and plan our next couple of days. Come evening, we met the last member of the family Clive (Ela's boyfriend) and went out with him and Ela to a nearby pub, the english way, (White Hart) and Darrin got to taste some nice beer : London Pride and Discovery. Ola had a bacardi breezer :P.
Day Two:
We still had a bit of jet lag and woke up quite early, which gave a bit of a head start for our adventures. We went to the train station and took it to their metro system called the "Underground" or "Tube" which at first was very confusing but came out to be more organized than Montreals. One thing about them is that they're only half the time underground, otherwise it's a regular train. We set off to Westminister Abbey and then followed our way to the parliament and Big Ben. We headed over to the London Eye (which is a giant ferris wheel) which gives you the view of almost the entire city (to put things in perspective, it's a 30 min ride). We then we walked the Princess Diana Memorial, Trafalgar Square and then visted this museum ( can't remember name, will fill in later). It was stunning and showed lots of beautiful paintings (Ola was quite impressed with Darrin's focus skills). We walked up to Buckingham Palace which to our dismay wasn't that great compared to the rest of the buildings we saw that day. We returned to our lovely base camp and recieved greatfully a semi english/polish meal. Then we crashed, ready for Day 3.
