Another big trip into the city today! Our plan was to head over the the London Eye, walk around for a few hours, tour Buckingham Palace (open on a rare occasion when the royal fam isn't home from their summer place yet!), and then walk the London Bridge at night. Good plan.
However, there were major closures on the tube today for engineering work, and so Rena and I spent the first two hours of our journey going back and forth between three or four tube stations trying to find a way to get down to Westminster. After much confusion and much riding in circles, we finally made it down. We walked along the southern bank of the Thames for a bit, had lunch at the National Theatre's cafe, perused the book market under the Waterloo Bridge, and then headed over to the Palace! By the time we were done it was dinnertime, and then it was late, so we never did make it to the London Bridge. Another day!

You two should do a YouTube show "England with Megan and Rena"
