Duck Tour around sights of London

The Duck
Another duck coming out of the water before we went down and in. This bridge is painted red on one side and green on the other as one side marks house of commons and the other house of lords. Big Ben and Houses of Parliament
Mi5 building - apparently only 1/3 is above ground and the rest below. They also film the James Bond films here. A concrete barge, made in WWII when they were trying to conserve steal - amazing that it actually floats! This afternoon Josh and I went on the "Duck Tour" around the sights of London. The Duck is an amphibious vehicle from the second world war. It droves us around the sights, then went down onto the Thames and did a tour along there. It was really cold and windy today - you will see from the clouds and the photos, but luckily we managed to get home before the heaven's opened.
