The Perfect Beginning
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/2005
After checking into our hotel and getting rid of our backpacks, this was the very first thing we did on our Great British trip. We got into Heathrow about 7:30am, so we weren't about to waste a whole day catching up on sleep, even though I was beat. (I can't sleep on airplanes) We found the Big Bus Company, and we invested in a tour, because, though we were armed to the gills with maps of central London, we had no idea of the scale or the things to see in between all the major sights. It was the ideal way to get your bearings. And it also helped that the guide was A-1 as well. The Big Bus goes all over London, both sides of the Thames, and doesn't miss a thing.
