London Calling!

We got up bright and early at 4am for our 7:30 flight to London. We landed to meet our new tour guide and embark on a bus tour of the city. We were able to see all the major spots from the bus and got out a couple times to walk around at both the Tower of London and Picadilly Circus.

After checking into the hotel at about 2pm the players either took a nap or ventured out into Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens which is directly across from where we are staying. The coaching staff took the opportunity to rent some bikes and visit the Peter Pan Statue, Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, and Kensington Palace. Just up the hill from the hotel is also the famous Notting Hill.

Tomorrow we will begin the day with the London Eye and changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Later in the day the team will play their last match against a local squad.

Till tomorrow.
