My first English breakfast for this trip

Mom had crepes

Engine by Rolls Royce. Fancy

We landed in Heathrow at Noon, and zoomed through both Immigration and Customs because of Mom's convenient wheelchair.  We were both relieved to see that our check-on luggage had arrived.

We walked to Emilia’s Italian Restaurant on St. Katharine’s Docks behind our hotel and ate delicious pasta outside near the boats and flowers. 

Nothing screams "I'm a tourist!"
louder than posing by a
red phone booth haha

Our hotel

Mom couldn't get enough of these vibrant hanging pots.
There are dozens of them along the wharf.

Emilia's Italian. Their homemade pasta is 10/10

We're kinda digging this bridge

Fountain statue by the Thames right in front of our hotel

Tesco Express is right by our hotel so we bought water bottles, snacks, stamps, and most importantly--- Maltesers!

Who could ever tire of seeing this when they walk out their front door?
