European Trip Extravaganza - Part 1 - London


 
This is a park in London with a duck pond and walkway (princess Diana memorial walk)

 
Note the duck with his tracking bracelet and VAT number..

 
They also had some coots.  Aww look at the baby coot!!

 
Some of the ducks were mooning us!! And no shotguns allowed, hmmph!

 
So after we got thrown out of there for antagonizing the ducks, we went to another park.  Hard to believe that in a peaceful setting like this, you are on candid camera.  Even the water closets at the other end of this path are monitored (inside).

 
Here's Virginia at the royal observatory..

 
That line on the ground is the prime meridian, GMT +0 hours exactly.


And darn if the time on the Royal Clock^TM wasn't wrong!  HEEYY! 


Here's Virginia in front of London Bridge


..And at the helm of the tea-clipper Cutty Sark.  AArrrr!


The deck of the Cutty Sark.


We saw some doofus-y diplomat coming out of Buckingham Palace..
We went to a few other attractions such as the London "Eye" ferris wheel and the Aquariums but did not bring the camera.
