London April 5 - 11

After Stockholm, it was time to go back to London for the chaos and excitement that was the premiere of Mamma Mia!

But before that, I did a Beatles Walking Tour with Carl Magnus Palm around some famous haunts in London.

While back in London this time Mark and I also visited the Tower of London, which we'd missed out on the first time around.

On the Saturday night we went to a gathering of ABBA fans at the home of Sara Barnes and Paul Russell at Martins Heron, about an hour out of London.
