London, England, Part 2

Today Flat Stanley didn't waste any time and headed straight for central London.

He took a spin on the London Eye before walking along the River Thames to Big Ben -- which is actually the name of the largest bell in the tower. The tower itself, and not many people know this, is St. Stephen's Tower.

Finally he hopped on one of those famous red double decker buses. The London Bus photo is more of a "spot Flat Stanley" picture because he insisted not only on having his photograph taken but driving the bus also. Fortunately, because he had trouble reaching the peddles, his top speed didn't exceed 5 mph -- much to the relief of his nervous passengers. The other good news is that, in accordance with the laws of England, Flat Stanley did indeed drive on the left hand side of the road.

Kind regards,
Robert
