30 Days. 9 Countries. 4 Currencies.

And 2 People still  in love and celebrating 35 years of marriage.  Yes our adventure has begun.  We are safely here in London.

We’ve already bought our Oyster Card for the Underground and found our Hotel.  Understandably we can’t check in until 2pm, but we could leave our bags there.

We are presently sitting in the British Library trying not to look conspicuous as we nod off.  But before finding this comfortable bench, we did look around and this place is awesome!  Original manuscripts from Handel, Beethoven, Purcell, Debussy, Chopin.  There are a number of Bibles including the Gothenburg (one of the original 180 copies that he printed).  Almost all of the old manuscripts are beautifully decorated, and with gold accents.

We will return soon to see if our room is ready, and finally take a horizontal nap - instead of in the sitting position.
