Europe - Didn't we check 2 bags?

Although we are in the neighboring land of Ireland we haven't found the luck of the Irish just yet. After getting off the plane we found out that Casey's luggage had been lost and that they had no clue where it went. The only answer we received was to check back within a couple hours to see if it had arrived. What a sucky way to start a trip but it didn't stop us. After following the hotel directions we took a 2 hour bus ride, but later found out that we could have taken a 35 minute train ride that was covered by our pre-purchased railpasses. After Ryanne changed into clean clothes we headed off to see the sites of London - Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey. We arrived back to the hotel late only to find out that the airport luggage service desk closed at 5pm which meant Casey still had no clean clothes (keep in mind Casey was in the clothes that we left in so at this point he had been in them for 2.5 days - smelly!)

After being in London for 1 day we felt comfortable with how the trains worked - yeah right! This is what started the many mishaps of the events to come.....
