Westminster et al.

A great touristy day out with our Aussie bro Ed through Westminster, and later tonight the West End for Phantom of the Opera.

In line to sit in the gallery of the Houses of Parliament in the stunning Westminster Hall (pic below). Looks like we should only be in line for around 1 hour which is ok (last pic). The vaulted wood carved ceilings are amazing but circa 1097 stone floors are cold enough to cramp calves.

Visited the Westminster Abbey- kind of creepy given all the monarchs buried in their tombs. Photos do not do it justice (not that we could take any pics inside) very ornate and huge ceilings and detail.

Just had my (Trav) first serve of Heinz baked beans while os- I almost forgot how good they are.

Enjoy the 30s in Adelaide Eddie!!

Note: viral marketing stunt in Trafalgar Sqaure for orange juice brand Tropicana- the council workers swarmed to the big orange sun with bikini girls. Yes, it is 4 degrees.
