Pic 2: In other nerdy news, I did very well on the trivia contest on the flight and then got a bit nerdier and beat my own high score. (My pic.)
In addition to these two happy pictures in blue, we've had some minor travel woes. There was considerable difficulty finding our transfer coach until the airport marshal helped us. Also, our Oyster cards, which are our main form of transportation inside the city, seem to have a zero balance although they're supposed to last us two weeks. This needs to get figured out tomorrow... but it's a bank holiday and may not. Pfft.

Wow you rocked the trivia game! No one came close!! Nice! I hope the transit cards get sorted without too much trouble! That is frustrating! How cool about the jeopardy answer!!
Take care.
Oooh you know I love all things nerdy. Go you!
Ugh on the cards, hope it gets figured out. There's always SOMETHING with travel that goes awry.
You crushed the trivia competition! Twice! And... hope you get the Oyster cards working. Figures that it's a bank holiday- always at the least convenient time.
I'm glad you arrived safely. Hope you get the transpiration cards sorted.
You were in Genius Mode!
Could the bank holiday be the thing that's causing the glitch in the Oyster cards? Maybe the balance didn't get transferred on yet?
At any rate, you're there and everyone's ok.
Tickled by the trivia! Well done, you,
May your time away be fulfilling and life giving, even as you pour into your students.

I hope you get Oyster figured out but if you don't (apart from what you've already spent on them) no problem -- your VISA or ATM will work on all public transport. We never got an Oyster while we were there. (That said, if the bank doesn't have an international fee waiver, it will cost more.) But at least you're not stranded.d
You smart woman you! Well done! Looking forward to your posts!
Wow, you REALLY scored well on the trivia! How fun!
Less fun is the Oyster card issue. I'm sorry -- that sounds so frustrating! I hope you are able to sort it out quickly.
Wow! You must be great at Trivial Pursuit!
