It was sad saying goodbye to our new friend Maria who was our host for our stay in Stockholm. Caught metro to city. It takes 20 minutes for 11 stations. Transport is very good. Went to commuter station to store luggage. That is one big station. Went back to Royal Palace to finish tour. Had lunch and then headed for the airport. Arrived in London and went for my first Underground trip. Glad Bek was leading the way. Jason met us at the station and took us to our re...

Our first day in London Keith and I did a 6 hour walking. We saw Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard, Fleet Street, Trafalgar Square, Pall Mall, Winston Churchhill's bunker, London Eye, London Bridge, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

Did my first walking tour today. Would you believe the guide is Australian. It was really interesting and him having our Australian sense of humour made it even better.

Went back to Royal Palace to see the Museum tre Kronor. It is down in the dungeons. Had an ice cream. Yummy.

Arrived in Stockholm about 8.30pm but was not picked up until nearly 10pm because our driver was waiting at terminal 5 and Bek and I were at terminal 2. Our host is Mary who is from Colombia and has lived Stockholm for about 7 years. She teaches Spanish to high school students. My feet were very swollen even though I wore pressure stockings and yes Cindy I did get up and go for a walk and stretch. In England fish and chips always served with mushy peas.
