Yesterday we did the whirlwind tour of London ... we were on the first Hop on Hop Off bus in the morning to see all that we could see. From Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, The London Eye and of course the Markets.
We were quite disappointed as the Queen neglected to show up for her High Tea appointment with us. Feeling a little snubbed we moved onto Westminster Abbey for a few photo opportunities.
During our stay most of use indulged in the legendary "Fish and Chips." With very large portions few of us managed to finish our orders. Next time we will do a little more sharing.
To pull our trip together we took the Tube to the theatre to watch the show Billy Elliot last night. It was a wonderful show filled with comedy and ongoing entertainment. We laughed until our guts ached. Perhaps a few too many "Papaya" words were said (talk to Zee about the meaning of "Papaya") but with the English accents it was easily overlooked.
Well ... our trip is winding down ... we are all gathering in the Hotel Lobby awaiting the arrival of our bus to the airport in the next 20 minutes. We have all had a great time and we will all be suffering from smile, laughter, tears, children, new friend and overall Zambia withdrawal.
We can't thank everyone that made our stay and experience in Zambia enough. Everyone was so welcoming, accomodating and took wonderful care us. Thank you for opening our eyes, helping us through the challenges awhile accepting us and our crazy Canuk ways. We look forward to being with you once again.
To an incredibly bonding experience ... "Cheers to Our Family of MT Commandos!!!"
Over and out for now the MT Commandos!
Watch for a few more pictures that will be posted in the next couple of days ...

> We are all safe and sound in Lusaka and hopefully starting to stir to depart for Lusaka Airport. It is 5 am and we will be starting the first major leg if our journey home this morning. London here we come!!!
>
> We had a few hours yesterday before departing from Livingstone. There was just enough time to step off the edge ... Down into Victoria Falls by bungee and across the Falls by Zipline.
>
> Hmmm... How many participants do you think there were? Was one of them your family member?
>
> Make you guesses... Find out if you are right soon.
