We had a smooth 9 and a half hour flight landing us at Heathrow airport just after noon local time. It was drizzeling as we got off the plane, but as Nate said it sure makes this place green! We found our way to the tube with full packs and ended at St Pauls. As we stepped out of the underground we were greeted by the largest cathedral I have ever seen! It is the highest point in London and is a spectacular sight! We walked in the door which read "here you enter the house of God. Here you enter the gates of heaven." We heard the beautiful sound of the choir singing and explored a bit. We checked into the hostel and went out for some fish and chips. Not to bad for English food! There we ran into some travelers from Texas on a trek of their own. We ended up at Hyde park and rented some bikes and did some more exploring. We are all pretty tired but we are trying to stay up to acclimate to the time change as soon as possible. More stories of the journey to come soon.
