We left out March 19th, which continues to be a cursed day to begin trips. Where our flight from cincinnati was delayed and we missed our flight to England. We got stuck in the suburb of Chicago, at the Sheraton, a hotel that is surrounded by 5 other hotels. Even worse we had to pay for internet use and it worked everywhere in the hotel except our room 418, go figure. The next day got better when we met Simon and very nice british guy that helped to pass the time. Also we got bumped up to first class just for being nice to the people that get yelled at everyday.
After reaching London our gracious hosts Dad and Lindy were awesome. We saw Stonehenge, took a nap and went to a local supermarket. It is easter weekend here so everyone is off work.
The next two days we went to downtown london and saw all the typical tourist stuff plus the Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum. To top is all off, it was snowing. Not a usual thing to happen in London, guess we are just lucky that way.
Off to the Netherlands tomorrow.
