Monday, April 21st - Hop on, Hop off in London

Our day was pretty simple. We had bought a hop on, hop off pass good for 24 hours. Basically, we hoped on! We went on 2 different routes and one trek down (up?) the river. We saw a lot of things and learned a lot. Weather was even on our side as it was sunny for most of both tours; it did end up raining for about 10-15 minutes on the early one, but all in all, it was sunny and warm. We did however end up walking (by choice) from the Tower Bridge to our hotel in a light mist. It was a very nice day!
