20p to Pee

It was an early morning, and now the cruise is over.  During today's "familiarization tour" of London--just a few big sites--I had to pay 20 pence (20p) to use a public restroom.  I still have a hard time accepting that people are charged to use a restroom!  See that a lot in Europe.  Socialism is expensive, I guess.

Internet was so infrequent over the past 2 weeks of my cruise, I'll post a few pictures here in random order because I'm too tired to put them in chronological order:

My feet hurt, I'm sweating like a pig because there's a heat wave and no a/c in the hotel, and I'm exhausted.  G'nite!
