A Dreaded Sunny Day
One of the things I love when traveling is running in new cities. It's a great way to explore unfamiliar territory on foot. So after sleeping off my jet lag last night (with the help of a few pints in nearby pubs), I awoke this morning to a beautiful, sunny day and went for a run around London.
I'm staying near the London Bridge, so I basically combined 3-4 different walking tours from my Lonely Planet guide book into one 11-mile run past many of the tourist sites, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Wellington Arch, Buckingham Palace, St. James Park, Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalar Square, the Eye of London and Shakespeare's Globe Theater, among others. The run started and ended with a run along the Thames, which is lined on both sides of the river with a promenade.
Now I'm off to the pub for some fish & chips. The Octopus Project will be arriving later this afternoon — they played a show in Nottingham last night and will play in London tomorrow night.
