London Day 2

We’re on the flight home. It is a bit crazy to think we have been gone 3 weeks. The time has flown by and I couldn’t have asked for better travel companions. I hope they remember this trip as fondly as I do. 

Our 2nd day in London was a great day thanks to the advice of my coworker to head to Greenwich. We walked down to the Oxford Circle tube stop on our way to Greenwich North where we road the Emirate Airlines Gondola over the Thames. It was not busy at all and we had our own carriage each way. The boys thought the ride was very cool and our ticket included time at the interactive experience focused on air travel - another huge hit with the boys. We then road the Thames Clipper down to Greenwich where we grabbed lunch at the Greenwich Market, checked out the naval museum and then were thwarted by a tour group on our attempt to ride the clipper again. 

Because we were on a schedule, we took the Docklands Light Railway and tube back to our neighborhood to meet my former coworker Dale for Fish and Chips. Dale and I then walked through Regents Park and caught up for a bit while the boys chilled at the flat. 

When I returned, the boys and I walked to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square via the West End to take in the sights and get gelato. D-man pointed out that it was better at night (the reason we went when we did - I was happy he noticed). A good way to wrap up the day.
