We had a squished but uneventful 8 hour long flight  to London. We arrived, bought our Oyster Cards (electronic tickets for the subway system)  and took the tube to South Kensington Station. It took a few minutes to figure our where our hotel was despite having the instructions and a map. The street signs are often on a wall or a building rather than a pole. However, the building where they put the street name that we needed was curved and the sign was in the middle of the curve. The good news was that it a beautiful day in London so it didn’t hurt to do some walking after the long trip. We had to walk a little bit to find a good, non-indian resaurant for supper.
