London part 4


We took the train to Brighton for the day to meet our son and spent the day on the pier and sightseeing.
The view from the pier down toward the British Airways 360 tower.


The view from inside the BA tower.

The view from the top of the tower.

We went to day 1 of Wimbledon. Since we couldn't get stadium tickets we had to wait in the queue for ground passes. We showed up a 7am and the queue was already this big.

Since they pass out queue cards to make sure people don't jump the line we knew there were 6700 people in front of us. The first hundred or so in the front of the queue are usually able to get stadium tickets so they actually had been in line for days already. The queue was already starting for the next day.

It took us 7 hours to get through the queue and inside the grounds which were packed with people. At the point we had to wait in another queue to get seats in one of the smaller courts.



The courts are so green and there are so many people.

This is Centre Court which we didn't have tickets to get into.
