Africa Trip Post #1.....LONDON

Brian and I went back and forth about what to do with our 8 hour layover in London on the way to Zambia. I was kinda set on staying at the airport not wanting to get lost or return to the airport late and miss our flight. But at the same time, how do you sit in an airport for 8 hours when you are minutes from and AMAZING city that you have never visited before???? We decided we would do a tour and were thrilled when Brian's boss hooked us up with a guy who had given them a tour a few years previous. Eddie, picked us up right at the airport and took us on a 5 hour tour of London and had us back to the airport with even a few minutes to spare. It was a whirlwind of a history lesson (not much of which was absorbed, since we had very little sleep on the overnight flight from Chicago) and we saw WAY more that we would have on any "touristy" type of tour. Eddie was a wonderful guide and we were really thankful for the opportunity to spend a bit of time with and see his beautiful home city! Here is a video of just some of the sights we saw...
