Back to London

We arrived back in London last night about 10 p.m. after hauling way too much stuff with us on a two-change ride from the airport. We still have the drum from TechEd, and hope it'll make the full journey home. We managed to get back into the Kingsway after losing our reservation.

After a slovenly week in Amsterdam, I got back into the exercise groove today and did about seven miles on the Thames. It was a nice morning with a little sun and not too much wind.

Today, we walked to the Imperial War Museum on the south side and spent about three hours there. The Holocaust museum is amazing and they have other very interesting stuff, including a replica of "Little Boy," the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan in WWII. They also have the V1 and V2 missles that terrorized the population of England during the Blitz.

That left us at what is becoming our favorite haunt here, Cork and Bottle, at 4:30. Lynne and I each had a glass of Collard (Oz). She had the Sauvignon Blanc and I had the Cabernet. Both amazing wines.

Tonight, we're headed out to partake in one of the recommendations from Jennifer, near Kennsington Park.
