After a grand total of 29 hours and 23 minutes travel time (Shannae ran a timer) we arrived in London. Having the hotel room yesterday for our layover was an absolute godsend as we were both able to have a decent sleep before what was a long and restless flight.
Not wanting to negotiate train stations with all of our bags we opted to take our first London cab ride from Heathrow to our bed and breakfast in Putney...
LESSON #1: Never (never) opt to take a cab from Heathrow to your bed and breakfast in Putney.
$140 later we arrived at our bnb at 7am local time, said hello to our hosts, dropped our bags off and headed into London town for the day.
Nothing overly noteworthy here, the weather was great, we had breakfast in Kings Cross Square, and then headed out to Stratford to do some shopping.
A good haul over all, I came home with a set of hair clippers and a new Star Wars action figure set, Shannae came home with a bunch of boring stuff like food and groceries.
