London - The beginning

We just got checked into the hotel room. (We stayed at the Sidney Hotel (Victoria Station). It's about 4 blocks from Victoria Station (south?). Needed to get a message out so everyone would know that we are here and ok. Somethings are very different than from my last trip to London. For one, official taxis are not always black. There was a fuchsia one right in front of us in line. The weather looks nice right now so I think we're going to head out for a bit ... Mario got no sleep on the plane and altough i got about 6 hours - i FEEL like I got none.
