Yesterday we did it. We finally did it. The kiddos we're ecstatic. We rode on a double-decker bus! It's by far and away the event (besides Reuben's diving of course) that they've been most waiting for and yesterday they got to ride on two of them!
Our awesome hostess, Janet, took us on a bit of a tour of Greenwich (pronounced "Grenidge") where we got to briefly explore Black Heath (on the way), the Greenwich market, and the Greenwich underground walking tunnel that goes right under the Thames! The kids loved the tunnel!
Afterwards we had fish 'n chips at an English pub, with a pint of room temperature ale while watching football on the tele. Does it get anymore english than that? Yup, just immersing ourselves in the culture! (The football was Olympic football so it was probably sub-standard to most hard-core fans, but nonetheless...)
For those keeping track, Elias woke up at 7am, Malachi at 8ish, and I haven't been able to get back to sleep since 7 as well. Is this the rude awakening we need to jolt ourselves into London time? Not sure how it's gonna work out as Nealah, Azelia, and Riel are all still asleep...
