Quickest Tour of London in History!

01 September 2009
Well, here we are, Uncle Brad & I, on a brief layover in Jolly Old, enroute to KSA. (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)
It's been quite the trip so far -- Uncle Brad & Auntie Beryl picked me up at Acme on their way to Calgary Airport; from there Uncle Brad & I flew to Vancouver Airport; the usual cavity search at customs - fortunately I don't have any cavities! With passports in order, we were off to London, UK.

Here are few photos of the quickest tour of London, ever:
1st: Trafalgar Square:
AND just to prove I really WAS there:
YES! That's really ME at Trafalagar Square!
Can you believe I've now flown on an actual airplane -- over the Atlantic Ocean!
Here I am in the middle of Picadilly Circus.
Wierd thing is, we didn't see any clowns ...
(well, unless you count the guy taking my picture!)
I think I may have caught a glimpse of Paddington Bear at Paddington Train Station on the way down here .... then again, it might not have been him, but there sure were a lot of suspiciously sticky marmalade paw prints around there!

Last little walkabout in Picadilly Circus before getting rained on (of course -- it's the UK, after all!); catching a ride on "The Tube" back to London Heathrow; relaxing in the Gulf Air Business Class Lounge before our loooooong flight to the Middle East.

Next stop: Bahrain; and then our final stopping place for awhile: Sauna, I mean, Saudi Arabia!!!!! Whoo-hoo!!!!
