We arrived safely in London this afternoon!


We are enjoying our beautiful hotel suite at The Rubens at the Palace. What a joy to have comfortable bed and bathroom with hot water and magnifying mirror by the sink! There is even the luxury of an iron & ironing board & blow dryer! Two TVs-one on Bekah's side of the suite and one on ours! We've been too busy to turn either on however. We walked down to the Apollo Theatre to check on Wicked Tickets for Saturday evening. They said if we come back on the day of the show we can get Senior discount which is about 50% of the regular price-of course we said we would. Then we plan to take the Bus Tour of London--one fare is good for 24 hrs and includes the boat ride on the Thames. We can get off and on whenever we see a place we want to explore.

We had supper in the cafe and we sat right at the front window which over looks the Royal Mews. It was like being on a movie set--people watching and enjoying the delicious sandwiches. If we could afford the exchange rate we might extend our stay! Bekah is having a blast! She is trying to talk like the British.
