On our 1st night in London, we both slept well, and got up for a full English breakfast buffet at the hotel.
After breakfast we took a tour on a van to see London’s major landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament and some different areas of London.
For lunch, Marge and I ate at a pub called Hung Dried & Quartered (which references a terrible punishment) that had good reviews. We shared a fish & chips, with sides of broccoli & Mac & Cheese, along with a couple of drinks. This was our 1st good meal in London
We walked back to the hotel to rest and fell asleep. After my nap, I walked a couple of blocks to an atm machine to get some cash. I got a surprise when the machine told me I didn’t have enough in my account for a 50 gbp withdrawal. I had forgotten to load $ into it before my trip. It took me a few minutes to transfer $ into it and get what I needed.
Dinner was with the group at a nearby local restaurant. I had a very good English beef pie and for dessert, a brownie and ice cream.
This part of the trip is an optional 5 day pre trip with 9 people composed of 2 men and 7 women. About 5 of us are retired attorneys I think the other attorneys were public defenders in Tucson, Az.
