Day 4

We took advantage of our free Big Bus Tour vouchers and spent the day on that.  I felt that my knowledge of what I learned from the walking tours was enhanced and by the end, some of the things the next tour guide said I already had learned that day.  We went on a river cruise from the Westminster Bridge to the Tower Bridge and learned about all the buildings along the river and their history.  After riding on the bus for a while and realizing that we either saw the sites on our walking tour or would see the sites for our class in the future, we ended up at Buckingham Palace.  From there, we went to the Royal Mews and walked around the area and got on the tube to go back to our apartment.  We rested and then went to Chinatown for dinner and returned to get ready to go out.  The bar that we went to was called the Living Room and was an upscale lounge.  Most of the people there were in their late twenties to early thirties and were dressed in suits or casual in jeans like us.  We ordered cocktails and then went back around 11 since we were all worn out from the previous few days.
