London

At Westminster Cathedral
We all arrived safely in London at about 7am local time. We went straight from the airport terminal to the tube (or "train") station, and travelled from there to Westminster Cathedral just in time for 10:30am Mass with the Archbishop. This was a beautiful Mass, Novus Ordo with parts sung in Latin, and an amazing organist!

After this, we went for a quick bus tour around London, visiting famous sites such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. The weather, of course, was overcast and a little cool, but certainly a welcome break after Abu Dhabi!
