Hej hej london!

Made it safely here today- it was insane pulling our 1,000 lbs. of luggage (which the SAS employee so nicely winked at us and said he'd cover his eyes to not charge extra for) up the steps of the tube stop where they had no lift or escalator. Holy crap. But we made it. Staying in the center of everything in picadilly. Got upgraded to a king size bed too!! Hotel is really nice. Heated towel rack - I like.

Made it already to the london eye with a clear blue sky to see for miles and then had a locals-recommeded (thx Julia!) fish and chips at the oldest locale for it in England. It was called rock and sole plaice in Covent garden. Excellent! Then we had the best ice cream we've both ever eaten (also we've eaten ice cream at least the last 4-5 days. Srsly) it was to die for. Italian luxury gelato at a place called scoop. We had vanilla with chocalte in it mixed with pistachio. It tasted like it was whipped. The owner gets there at 5am daily to make it ready to open at 1130am.

Now were so tired. This town is awesome. Happy to be here.

S. You wouldve been so stoked on all of this.

Home tuesday-whoa how the time flies.
