Today was a bit rainy, but we managed to make the best of it. We walked around Hyde Park and enjoyed the fall scene in this beautiful London park near Kensington Palace. We also visited Covent Gardens which is a combination of an open air market and boutique shops of all kinds.
Since Cynthia is a Mac user, we found the London Apple store and had to visit it and play with all of the new Apple applications. You can really feel the beginning of the holiday season here with all of the special lights and displays going up.
I have discovered that you can buy cell phone company sims cards here that make calling anywhere in the UK and back home to the U.S. much cheaper than using your own cell phone. It just requires you to have an unlocked cell phone and you're in business. UK rates are as low as 8 to 10 pence a minute locally and 4 pence a minute for calls back home to the U.S.. Cynthia has also been using Skype to make free Internet calls back to her mom in Kansas. Technology has been our friend on this trip.
Tomorrow....more fun playing tourist.
