London - Part II

July 5-8, 2001 (London, England)
On our return trip to London, Wimbledon was the highlight as it was in progress and nearing the finals. We didn't have an extra thousand pounds to blow on tickets so we settled for watching some of the youth and doubles action as well as the centre court semi-finals action on a jumbo-tron set up in one of the unused courts. Our lodging ran the gamut ranging from a youth hostel to a few 5-star hotels.
