We took a bus from Heathrow to the hotel--it was the cheapest way to go. When we went to get our bags off the bus though, one of my dad's was missing! It didn't have his money or passport, but it did have his camera in it. Luckily, the bus company's lost & found had it. Someone had mistaken it for theirs and walked off with it, but then turned it in when they realized that.
As any good intenational traveler knows, the first thing you do in a foreign country is change your money. I did this after customs at the airport. I wasn't sure it would fit in my wallet--not because I had so much, but because their money is bigger than ours.
This is what $700 gets you. God save the Queen!
The first thing we saw in London was the British Museum. You can never see the whole thing in a day, so we saw the highlights: the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, and the mummy collection.

I want my mummies!
We did go to a lot of other places on the first day, but those stories will have to wait until I get back.. The Underground is the best!
