Some solo tourista adventuring today. I’ve mastered navigation here as well as I’m likely to, and Notaw had some workstuff to deal with in the morning, so I went down to some of the tourist hotspots. Fish and chips at the Tower of London, war protesters at Parliament Square, and boating down the Thames (or Old Chap River as they call it here). Not being much of a swimmer, I’ve never been on a boat before. Nice thing about the Thames is that if your boat sinks, it doesn’t matter if you can swim or not because the undercurrent will pull you under either way. Cheerie-o! Met up with Notaw at the Tate Modern. Too late for the Dali and Film exhibition, but it’ll be there for a few more days yet. Took many many photos, more than I’ll get to sift through tonight. I’ll try to at least get a highlight assortment up though. Meanwhile, a few fun facts:

The Tower of London is easily as tourist packed as the Grand Canyon

They charge 10 pounds to go inside Westminster Abbey

There are three or four war protesters yelling at cars outside of Parliament

Abe Lincoln rates a statue in Parliament Square!

The Tate Modern isn’t as nice as you might expect

And there’s only two things you really need in a restaurant:
