London
Our first day out and about in London was a huge success, we started the day off by riding the Docklands Light Railway to the ends of the line to begin our on-ground research. This tactic helped us because we hadn't planned what we would explore that day, but leaving one of the stations we walked a bit and found the London Tower Bridge and at another end-of-line station we walked around Olympic Park. It wouldn't have been better if we tried planning that and it was all such a coincidence.
The transportation systems of London have been amazing so far because they are so easy to use and well-signed so even someone who doesn't know the area can find the closest station. All of the trains look very modern and uniform with red doors and the tube symbol everywhere you turn.
After resting up after our journeys back and forth on the Docklands, we decided to take a tube to Waterloo, I picked it because it reminded me of the ABBA song, and just walk around for a bit. As soon as we walked out, we saw the London Eye and a couple steps later.. the Big Ben! It was unreal and completely unexpected, like the whole beginning of the day had been. This day was filled with unexpected surprises that made us begin to feel as though we're officially in this beautiful city of London.
