JOLLY OLD ENGLAND Days 1 and 2















DJ - We arrived on Wednesday - grueling flight! Great weather so far; very sore feet!  Everyone says "It's only 10 minutes" (cab ride, walk....) but it's not really.

K - Food, Not - so - Glorious Food.  Have discovered that one can pay a little or a lot for bad food.
