Wake up in London, 18 hours later being followed in a grocery store by some Polish police guy

Hello everyone from Krakow Poland, where we are no longer on the pound and we can no longer speak the native language. Even our blog site is in weird letters like.......Zamieszczanie postow??????? Anyways we made it finally to Poland after a long day of travel that started out in London and a 2 hour bus ride to Stansted a 3 hour wait to get on the plane, 2 hours plane ride, an hour waiting for a bus in the middle of Poland and a 15 minute walk to the Hostel. We went to a grocery store where I couldn't tell you anything name wise, and we were followed like hawks by a police man. Then when we checked out the loaf of bread didn't register so the guy just gave us a different one, not nearly as tasty looking. But its now a 7 hour time difference making this post at 1:15 in the morning, thank goodness we don't have to be up early.

But i bet you want to hear about London. In a nutshell we saw: the London Bridge, Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Trafalgar's Square, Piccadily Circus, rode around on the tube, Big Ben and Parliament at night, The London eye and Millennium Bridge at night, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, The changing of the guard, walked down the Mall, St. James Park. I think thats it, all in less than 24 hours. Needless to say we are tired and excited for our next adventure. Talk to you soon!

Whew...you make me tired just reading. London in a day, you could write a book. Hey, on the news it is showing flooding somewhere in England, did you hear anything about that? Assume is was raining...... Ya, it's a different story now,you’ll definitely feel like American’s now. Doesn’t anyone know Polish??? The fun is just starting, German, Italian, French and Spanish (someone has to know that). Just behave and pay attention and you'll be fine. Whats the weather like in Poland?? I can’t believe it’s only been a week since you’ve been gone. Think of the places you’ve been and the things you have seen, oh my gosh!!

Keep us posted, have fun, be safe. TTFN Mom Swan

Wow, I was wondering where you are. Did Ben enjoy London for his b-day? How many days will you be in Poland? Interesting. Have you run into anyone that makes you nervous? Has everyone been nice to you. You guys are awesome. I miss you but sure do wish I was tagging along. Nothing much here. No rain. Hugs and kisses
