Day 1 / 2.
After arriving in London, I took the tube to Russel Square, a very crowded but pleasant experience. Checking in to my room, I took a quick 2 hour nap to get caught up before heading out to Hard Rock Calling 2011. Hard Rock Calling was in one of the royal parks, quite a nice walk to get there, but being 30+ degrees out, it was not a very pleasant place to be! I quickly found shade in the no smoking a tent, a plus in two ways! Bon Jovi put on a great show, but I left at the first encore, as I was tired, and interested in beat the other 100,000 people to the tube!
No trouble sleeping all night and waking up for my 8am alarm even though the bed is subpar.
Day 2 was once again hot and sunny, a great day for photography, but not great for walking so I took a hop on hop off tour on a big double decker bus. A brief over view of all the sites, and I spent a few hours at the Tower of London, arriving before the crowds was a must!
Tomorrow I hope to catch the changing of the guard, Harrods, The National Gallery, and Shakespeare at night.
Tuesday I hope to see the Tate Modern and the London Eye, as well as a few other museums (maybe).
More with pictures when I find wifi for my iPad!
