The London Tour

After a five hour flight from my home in Canada, I arrivedin London whwere I was met by the tour representatives. They were easy to spot in their bright red uniforms waiting for us at the airport . From the airport we were wisked off to our hotel where we would meet the rest of our tour the next day.
Arriving a day early gave us the opportunity to either relax at the hotel or go on one of the many side tours that Globus offered. I chose to join morning walking tour of London. It was led by Mick, a typical Englishman complete with umbrella and bowler hat. He was a wonderful tour guide, very friendly with lots of interesting information to share. So with a group of about twenty, we started off on our tour into central London.

Along the way we passed by Hyde Park . Here a double decker bus passes on the wrong side of the road from what we're used to. If you're not careful you could be looking in the wrong direction for traffic and accidentally step in front of an oncoming car. Then you would end up on a different tour altogether.

This is a picture of the Charles Dickens Hotel across from the park.
