First two days in England

The first day in London we spent on getting our prepaid phone cards. It was quit a deal. We bought a phone for 14 pounds (approx. $21 us) and put 30 pounds on them. It only cost 6 pence a min to call home (9 cents us). Even though we called home three- four times a day we still didn't spend the full 30. We also got our oyster cards. The oyster card will let you ride the subway, bus (which they call coach), train and the clippers. We also walked around Victoria station which was just a few blocks from our Hotel. We ended our evening on the Second Day by seeing the Broadway show Wicked
England is 7 hours ahead of us so it took me some time to adjust to the change actually about four days my sister adjust after the first day. The second day we went and seen the Towers, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and St Pauls Cathedral (Princes Diana was married here)



We also had Tea and scones at the department store called Harrads Department store. this is oldest department store in England














We had a great time. Next day we are headed to York a 13th Century City and we are going by train.







Another day of blessings!
