OUR FLIGHT FROM HOUSTON TO LONDON VIA ATLANTA WAS UNEVENTFUL. EVERYTHING WAS A BIT LATE, BUT WEATHER IS A MAJOR SHAPER OF FLIGHT PATTERNS AND WE LANDED SAFELY AND WERE MET BY OUR DRIVER. WE ARE STAYING IN OUR FAVORITE PART OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY NEAR THE PALACE, BEAUTIFUL PARKS AND FUN PUBS AND CAFES. THE HOTEL Z WHERE WE ARE STAYING IS A TINY PLACE WITH ROOMS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A JAIL CELL. TINY BUT COMFORTABLE. AFTER A LONG NAP, WE SET OUT FOR AN EVENING OF ALE AND CRICKET IN THE GREEN KING PUB. TOMORROW WE WILL BE TOURIST AND TOUR BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
