We were so excited to be out and about and headed off to see the Tower of London by boat. Taking a boat trip to the Tower of London is very relaxing and gives you time to take in the sights.

The day we arrived in London the temperature was over 30c so the trip to our hotel was a bit uncomfortable. Coming from Australia where the summers are hot, hot, hot means that everything is air conditioned so when you get into a mini-van in London with NO air conditioning with 10 other people on a really hot day and drive for two hours to get to you hotel you start to feel a little uncomfortable. Added to this is the fact that you have been sitting on a plane for 24 hours prior to this. The hotel itself was...
