London, Day 1: Recap and Goodnight from London!
The rest of the day was terrific. Usually, I get a little more creative with these things, but I think I've been awake since Sunday at 8:00 a.m. which is really Sunday at 7:00 a.m. but is actually 1:00 p.m. UK time...
So, it's a little tricky to keep track of things right now.
After clearing security at Heathrow, we met our Tour Director, Liz. Liz is a Blue Badge guide who has lived all over the UK, spent some time in Mexico, the American South, et al. Long story short, Liz is a talented, experienced guide who led us all on a great orientation tour of the city.
Carousel Tours requested early check-in at the hotel, so we were able to refresh ourselves after a morning tour. Liz then walked us to Covent Garden where the students got their first taste (literal and metaphorical) of free time in London. We then made our way to Trafalgar Square to visit the National Gallery, eventually winding our way back to the hotel via Chinatown and Soho Square.
All of the little places we visited only whetted the students' appetites to explore the city, and they will have plenty of opportunities later this week!
We all need a good night's sleep to recharge for our full day in Stratford tomorrow.
Have a great night!
