Yep, I actually made out of Heathrow this time! I took the tube into central London (it took about an hour). Then I hopped on the Thames Clippers for a round-trip boat tour on the river. It was one of the cheaper sight-seeing options and was very relaxing. :) The weather was partly cloudy, but windy and cold! I was grateful that the seating on the boat was 'indoor' - although the reflection from the windows messed up some pics. Oh well. It was still a nice ride.
Big Ben and Parliament
London Bridge (The big flag was on the front of the boat.)
Me
Tower of London
Trafalgar Tavern
After the boat tour, I still had some time to kill before going back to the airport. But I have a tendency to get lost when wandering around a city for the first time, so I stayed close to the train station. And right there was a Starbuck's - one final Pumpkin Spice Latte before going back to Uganda. Delicious.
