Tuesday - June 1 - arrived in London

Everyone got checked in and onto the plane in Atlanta.  The flight was mostly uneventful except when Dr. Lackey got a big kiss on the cheek from the Senior Cabin Steward after she explained what we would be doing in Kenya.

After a little bit of logistic trouble with our ground transport we decided to take basically public transport to our hotel and the duffels of vitamins and research equipment cases were checked into baggage storage at the Heathrow airport so that we did not have to lug them around with us.

We had a nice lunch at our hotel at 3:30 PM we re-grouped and took local buses and the tube to the Green Park station in downtown London where we got on an open top sightseeing bus.  We were blessed with some good English weather (cold, wet, and rainy) and after about an hour were below deck or under the top floor shelter.  The tour was about 3 hours and gave us a great overview of the many historical sites in London.

After taking the tube back to our hotel, we picked up dinner to go (Sam's Chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Indian Deli) and caught a bus back to the hotel.

Tomorrow we will meet early to catch our 8.5 hour flight to Nairobi.
