Hi everyone, we just got back from our two week trip to Europe. It was really great, we got to see London, Paris, parts of Burgandy, and parts of Switzerland.
So far I've uploaded the pictures from London to my flickr site, so I'll blog on those first.
London was great, but pretty expensive for us. The weak dollar definitely killed us this trip. Our initial cab ride from the airport cost us over $100 USD, and basically everything we bought/ate there was double price for us. We decided to brave the tubes though we were situated right at Kings Cross station. Lots of cops and security everywhere, but we didn't hit any problems. London's subway system is brilliant, cleanest and most organized subway I've seen.
Over the next few days we visited the sites, Big Ben, Parliment, Westminister Abbey, took a ride up the London Eye Ferris Wheel, Shakespeare's Globe, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Buckingham palace.
The people were really nice, probably one of the highlights of London to me were its people. Also we were pleasantly surprised with the abundance of good, healthy restaurants. In particular I liked a small chain called Giraffe, which served great food, and had a global theme. We also had some great pizza at Pizza Express. I ordered a pizza with egg on it for the first time, and it was delicious (don't knock it till you've tried it!).
After 3 days of touring London we hopped on the high-speed Eurostar to Paris. You can see our pictures from London here.
