Family in London

My parents, aunts and uncles recently came to Europe for a holiday, and made London their first destination on their 2 week tour of England, France, and Italy. Their first introduction to London was getting stuck in traffic for about 2 hours to travel approx 20km. The stop and start, and unfamiliar roads tired them out by the time the arrived at their destination.
Lisa and I were acted as tour guides, taking everyone to most of the main attractions of London, from Picadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace, St James Park, Parliment House, Big Ben, Southbank, St Pauls, Chinatown, up Regent and Oxford Street. We covered the city on the London using the buses and tube, and fortunately for them, the tube was not as crammed with people like usual.
We also took a few keen shoppers, to go shopping in London, visting Regeant Street, Picadilly Circus and Harrods. Everyone was very suprised how good and cheap shopping in London is. Their favourite store however was LillyWhites! where they couldn't resist the bargain.

It was nice to see everyone again, and nice to see my family come London, and see other parts of Europe.
