London - Day 4 & 5

We took the 0807 EuroStar to London and arrived in a familiar English speaking environment about 2.5 hours.

The EuroStar stops at Waterloo Station so it was a breeze going to Victoria Station where our hotel was. The Tube tickets are pretty expensive so we decided to get the "Oyster" card (stored value).

We didn't really get a good first impression of London, especially the hotel which we stayed. Small, dusty/dirty and expensive. Everything is NOT INCLUDED and needed to pay extra. For example, the "cold breakfast" which essentially was just cereal, coffee/tea and toast cost 3.5 pounds.

Anyway, we managed to survive on our 100 pound budget for the 2 days, including paying for entrance tickets to the Tower of London and the Queen's Gallery. The rest of the sights are mostly free.
