Day 1. Tired, tired and even more tired

We arrived safely.

None of us slept too well on the plane but we knew we needed to keep moving and we had quite a few hours until we could check into our house. 

We picked up the car and Dave did a great job adjusting to driving on the left, round-abouts and the manual transmission.  Still getting used to all of the cyclists on the very narrow highway speed roads. 

We spent 3 hours at Hampton court Palace, home to Henry VIII. It was a very impressive place but our lack of sleep really limited how much we could take in. Note to selves: don’t do anything ‘big’ on first day of trip. 

After that we made a quick stop at a grocery store and then checked into our great house.  Really happy with it!!  It’s in a very quite residential area so can’t hear anything.  Now we’re all of for an early bedtime.
