Arriving in Europe

After a long day and night of traveling, the group arrived in Europe at 8:30 a.m. this morning. We were fortunate to not have any delays or problems with our flights, as some other Friday flights out of Indianapolis did.

We landed right on time at Gatwick Airport, and after clearing customs and collecting our baggage, we boarded a charter bus to take us to the Earl’s Court Ibis hotel in southwest London. We took a break for lunch before re-boarding the bus for a driving tour of London. On the driving tour, we made stops at Kensington Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. We also drove through several other scenic parts of London, including Westminster, Trafalgar Square and Fleet Street. We ended the day by visiting the Tower of London. Everyone enjoyed the day, but most everyone is quite tired from the flying, as well. We’re getting rest now so we can have another full day tomorrow.
