How much can you do in a four hour layover?

Big Ben in London!

     Plenty. As Rebecca and I stretched from our seats, we contemplated wandering around England instead of impatiently waiting for our next flight in the airport. Walking through customs, the stamper questioned our staying in England for 4 hours. Yes, we know it's a very short time. Yes, we just want to see some tourist things. And off we went into the blundering gaggle of tourists attempting to figure out the English subway system.

     Between oyster cards, one way tickets, and the overpowering Euro, we managed to buy tickets and made our way to our subway line. The Piccadilly train took about an hour to get into the city, and we excitedly sprinted off the train. lugging our carry-ons. We walked by Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, snapping a plethora of pictures. We made our way to Buckingham Palace, taking a picture in a bright red phone booth on the way. Buckingham Palace was overcrowded, but we were able to watch the guards marching around. By this point, our time in London was coming to a close. We made it back to the subway and made it in plenty of time for our next flight.

     Goodbye London, hello Amman!
