We left on our 3rd wedding anniversary for our vacation, what a great way to celebrate this day. Our first stop was London. It was a natural stop over for us and we decided to visit Union Jack Country, since Rahul had never been to Europe. While, we were there for 2 days, we visited the usual sights and paid a visit to Rahul's family as well.
It started raining as soon as we stepped out of our hotel. Now we know why the guards wear the wooly headgear..
