I will not miss the Pound/Dollar exchange rate
Our trip to London was nothing short of perfect besides the hectic beginning and stressful end (see more later). We woke up at 3:30 to catch the 3:50 tram to the airport. We made the first connection to the next tram, but that tram was late pulling up to the bus station so as we were running up the bus, it drove away.

We got there around noon on Friday, ate lunch, and toured the city. After the tour, we...

It is so well organized with an easy to use public transit system. The food was great, the people were friendly, and it was extremely clean. Let me start from the beginning:
