Jeremy left early on Sunday morning to take a train.
He was going to play British baseball (cricket) in London . We also left for London after breakfast.
After 20km’s ride (random fact: the circumference of the Earth in kilometers is 40075 km),
we felt like we were back to New Zealand.
We came across a fellow cyclist walking his bike.
He must have forgotten to bring the tools to fix a flat tire. We still have 100 or so patches we bought in Turkey so I helped him patch the tire free.
Last night I took a picture of the map from Brighton to London in the website. It’s very helpful. We arrived at Mirjam’s place at 9pm without getting lost.
“Is everything OK?” Mirjam and Mark warmly welcomed us.
“Everything is fine except that we had a flat tire twice and there’s heavy rain before we got here.”
Mirjam is from Germany and Mark is from New Zealand . They both love traveling. They once rented a car to travel around Africa . They slept in the roadside after dark. After
dawn, Mark was awakened by an engine noise and saw a truck narrowly
drive past him. It turned out Mark was actually sleeping on the road.
So rain and flat tires are really not big deals compared with Mark’s experience.
Finally we could have a nice rest tonight.
Mirjam was an English teacher and is now a full-time mom.
The first day in London , we went to see the London Olympic Games Museum construction site.
Yannik helped me with patching the inner tire after he came home from school.
We rode with Liam and Yannik along the canal to the Olympic Games Museum.
Today‘s trip was just a starter so that we could save some energy for later trips.
The little kid was tired, so let me pull him along.
The actual adventure would be cycling around London city.
On the morning of September 13, we arrived downtown at the Tower Bridge after we pedaled about 10km.
London ’s living standard is higher than any other European countries we have been. However, Yi was well prepared.
We made rice balls before
taking off. We would like to celebrate our second anniversary of cycling
around world as well as our third wedding anniversary with a simple meal.
Even
though you may have limited money, if you try your best to reach the
destination, regardless of the amount of money in your pocket, you will
experience the same scenery. Let us use the least expensive way (on foot) to
introduce you to one of the world's most expensive cities--- Downtown London .
We stood outside the gift shop to take pictures of the bus routes, thus we could follow the route to tour the whole city. Next time, we should take pictures of the taxi tour routes so that we can save more money.
London Bridge
Tower Bridge
Let us try a different angle for a different view
London Tower
Although the living expense is high, the admission is free for all kinds of museums. However, a tour map costs 1 pound.
Let’s start with Tate Modern.
