London, Day 1; Trains, Boats, and a giant Eye

So today was the day we got into London! We got up at the crack of dawn (well, 6:00AM) and hopped the train to London. We got into Paddington Station sometime after 10 (not really sure the exact time) and proceeded to get lost and turned around on the way to our hotel! We finally stopped, and Jon called and asked the hotel for directions. Turns out, we went just slightly the wrong way.

After making it to the hotel, and stashing our luggage in the lobby (check-in wasn't until 1PM), we decided to take a walk around the area and towards Hyde Park. After a short jaunt into Kensington Gardens, we decided it was time for lunch.

And what did we have for lunch you ask?

We had Burger King. Haha!

After we were done lunch, we headed back to the hotel and checked in, found our room, and stashed all our luggage. Then it was off to the Big Bus Tours!

We rode that around a bit, then finally got off and rode the Thames Clipper. It was some amazing views from the river!

After we did a full circuit of that, we went and had dinner at Slug and Lettuce. It was really yummy!

Shortly after finishing, we went and had a night view of London, via the Eye of London!
(it was kinda romantic, shhhhh)

Then it was off to the hotel, where we promptly curled up in bed and fell asleep!
