Day 4: London

Well after a wild day of planes, trains, automobiles and a healthy
dose of rain, we are finally here at our first English pub having our
first English beer.

Took a bit to get here though....

Landed at Heathrow after a short delay in the air at about 8:20 pm
local time. Took the Underground out about an hour to what I thought
was our stop. Another passanger informed us that the station
announcements were off and we had missed our station. Took a bus (one
of the classic double deckers) a few blocks south to Kings Cross where
we still had 5 block walk to get to our hotel. All this in the pouring
rain. Didn't get there til after 11.

It all worked out in the end since there was a great pub called
O'Neills (ok it Irish, not English) right around the corner open til 1.

Tomorrow: Westminster
