UK, 2009 - First visit to London

Went to London with Micheal via the train around noonish.  We missed our stop and got off at Elephant and Castle.  I pulled out my GPS, and started to find our way to the hotel.  We check into a Holiday Inn near the river on the South bank.  A low rent hotel but cheap.  The weather was nice, we went sightseeing, hit a few bars.  Found one that was on the third floor of a condo and had several cool balconies on the Thames.  We met up with Eman, his family owns a couple flats in town (wish we knew that before we booked the hotel).  We hung out awhile went to the "real" Elephant and Castle bar. Around 7PM Micheal and I caught a cab and met up with Darrell for dinner at Barney’s.  The food was pretty good but not up to expectations.  After dinner we went to the Hard Rock Cafe’ so I could get my souvenirs.  Micheal took off to Eman’s place and I went back to the hotel to grab my camera and walked down to Big Ben for plenty of pictures.
