London, England - Day 1


This weekend we spent about 5 days in London, England.  Jenny had been there a few times already, but for me and the kids it was our first time.  The flight from Zurich is only about an hour or so, so it's super convenient.  We spent our first day doing a walking tour around the city with a guide that Jenny met during a recent business stay.  Catherine showed us all the iconic landmarks, including Parliament and Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, and Kensington Palace.  One highlight for the kids was checking out the classic red "double-decker" buses.
