gowalking 10,790 Posted July 26, 2015 Well friends...I am back from London. I walked for miles and miles. I did the bike ride. I had leg pain and it was very discouraging but I didn't let it stop me. I saw everything I wanted to see. I found London to be better than I could have imagined. I figured out the underground fairly easily and was off. My sister got me acclimated and I was out and about with and without her. I ate too much but with all the exercise, only gained about two lbs. I told the guide who took us on the bike tour about how I was nearly wheelchair bound less than three years ago and he was truly impressed...and not because he wanted a tip either. You can tell when someone is genuine or not. He took the picture of me on the bike at the statue of Nelson. He said that I should send that picture to my surgeon and I think I will. I've attached a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Candidate 3,215 Posted July 26, 2015 Beautiful pictures and sounds like the trip of a lifetime. You not only look like you've never been close to a wheelchair, but are definitely one of those people who look like you've never been overweight either! Congrats!

Julie norton 2,850 Posted July 26, 2015 So happy for your adventure! We can live vicariously through you! I found the underground quite user friendly and great to access many places. However, for me, there is no place like home✈️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
