Happy Day in Hyde Park

Hello everyone....quick post today...no pics as we can't upload them here at our hotel...we'll try to figure something out tomorrow.

We're safely and finally in London after what turned out to be a long day of travel yesterday...we are stuffed into a great but teensy room (maybe 8 x 6?) at the Cherry Court Hotel right near Victoria Station. Today we met up with the Hansen family, which was great fun, and then spent the day in Hyde Park watching the Tour de France riders whiz by during the prologue time trial, along with what felt like the rest of London's population. Huge crowds, but quite well managed, of course, we're not in Greece anymore after all. :) (Yesterday, boarding our Olympic Airlines flight, they simply said to get on the plane, no organization at all, and massive crowding promptly ensued).

Anyway, today was great fun, tomorrow morning Lo and I are planning to head out to Wimbledon to at least soak up the atmosphere a bit in the morning, since Centre Court tickets are £87. Yikes!

Cheers,
E

are there center court tickets still available? then I agree with Gretchen, you should do it. When will you again be in London during the finals? and you both love tennis! If tickets are available, I say do it!
