The adventures of Jeremy and Bridget part 2: Bonus Day

On our way back, we had a nice 9hr layover in London, so we stashed our roller bags at the airport, grabbed all of the layers of clothing we had, and headed to the Underground to take in some of the sights. We hit the big ones on Bridget’s list – London Eye, Tower of London (and associated Bridge), Big Ben (which was more like Big Bummer because it was under construction/repair and you could only see his face), Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Piccadilly Circus. Bridget had spent a semester in London during college and was still a bit familiar with the city. Then it was back to the airport to go through yet another security line and catch our last leg home. Our plan was to stay awake as long as possible on the flight so we would be tired when we arrived in San Francisco at 7pm and would be able to sleep and sync back up with the West Coast Time Zone (and hope our bodies didn’t notice that we basically skipped a night of sleep). We ended up getting our own 3-seat row next to the window so we had space to spread out and be comfortable. That plan was mostly successful and now that we're back home, we are amazed with the opportunity we have had to see all the beauty in southern Africa.
