Just a little more London

On our second day we decided to go downtown and see the Parliment Building, Big Ben (the clock tower), and the southbank along the river. It's super easy to get around downtown as long as you get a subway pass. The UK has tons of different nationalities and languages that are spoken. You could sit next to someone who you would think was English, until they would start speaking some crazy language. And it's even hard to understand some of the English people. The accent varies from little to thick and depends on where they are from in the UK. We've had a great time so far.

We also checked out St Pauls Cathedral, super cool. And we were able to clime up the dome and get on top to take pictures of the city. This is a pretty big landmark for them.

Parliament Building from the London Eye. The Eye is the big Ferris wheel on the edge of the river. Goes up over 300 ft .
This is the Tower of London, an old fortress castle on the Thames river. It's right next to Tower Bridge.
