My Personal Amazing Race - London

Paul @ Abbey Road

London Eye

In Season 7, Leg 10 of the Amazing Race on CBS, teams travel from Istanbul, Turkey to London, England, U.K.  Once in London, teams search for Abbey Road, the crosswalk made famous by the Beatles album cover photo of the same name.  From there, the teams race to the London Eye and look for the marked building from the London Eye, from there they follow a series of clues riding the Underground.

The Abbey Road photo (top right) is from Paul's college days when he and 2 friends backpacked through Europe one summer.

In 2007, we spent 3 days in London  as part of a week long trip riding the Eurail in Europe.
We didn't get to complete any challenges, but we did see the London Eye, ride the Undergound and covertly followed a group on a "DaVinci code" tour to a church with Knights Templar.

Stop on the DaVinci Code Tour

I have visited London multiple times in my life from when I was a small child, to Study Abroad, to post-college.  I was staying with friends in London, the night Princess Diana was killed in Paris in her car accident. My friends were so upset about Princess Diana's untimely death, they didn't even want to tell me, they just told me to watch their TV.
