We’re here!  We left last night from Phoenix and flew directly into London Heathrow Airport.  Spent almost a hour and a half standing in line in customs before we set out on our bus trip to the hotel.  We took a tour of the sites in the West End of London, getting a visual of all the historical buildings and locations named in those Regency Period novels.  Places along the way included the Natural History Museum, Harrods Department Store, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Picadilly Square.  Tomorrow we spend the day at the Warner Brothers’ Harry Potter Studio.
