We made it to London!! And all 25 pieces of our luggage made it to London with us. Now that is a small miracle! Thank you for your prayers. At least for this leg of the trip, we had no difficulties. For the last two days we have been touring London. We arrived here at 6:30a.m. (London time) yesterday morning and could not check into our hotel until 3p.m. So we took a bus to Central London and toured Hampton Court Palace, where King Henry VIII lived. Every day they stage the wedding of King Henry to his sixth wife. It was very interesting to see, but the weather was cold and rainy all day. So, we shivered as we walked and tried to figure out London's public transportation. Needless to say we were beat by the time we went back to the hotel and checked in. After skipping a whole night of sleep because of the travel, and then touring in the cold rain, the Allens were asleep by 7p.m. Those of you who know us very well, know that is not the norm. After a good nights sleep, we took a speed boat ride on the River Thames this morning. It was fun and amazing to see all the historic sights down the river. Then we took the kids ice skating, and later went to see Kensington Palace, where all the princesses lived from the 1600's until the 1990's, and had Afternoon High Tea. Some of the children were not overly thrilled with cucumber cream cheese sandwiches or the sliced salmon sandwiches, but they loved the scones and flavored teas with cream and at least now they can say they've been there and done that! We are having a great time together and have one more day of touring London before we leave for Zambia.
