To Bedapest via London

I started from Seattle on March 12th and got to London the following day. I was visiting my brother-in-law there on my way to the study trip. We planned to explore inner London in the 2 days I was there. So just after getting to London, we drove to the city and parked the car just outside the inner city and hoped on the Tube (underground train service). We were on the Central line and were headed to the central London area. The train stopped few times and each time there was an announcement that the delay was caused by a security alert. When train reached Liverpool station, and waited there for several minutes, they announced that there is an unidentified bag in one of the trains ahead of us and they could not tell when the service will resume. So we got off the train thinking we will go outside and walk around a bit. When we reached the station’s main area, it looked pretty busy so we thought of taking some pictures. So we took couple of pictures and by then about 4 Police officers came and asked us to go with them to the Police Station there. So we went with them. They asked us to show the pictures we were taking. After seeing those couple of pictures we took there, they started apologizing and explaining why they took us in. Interestingly they did not ask for any ID or anything else, they were only interested in the pictures we were taking. They told us that someone thought we were taking pictures of other people in the railway station. It didn’t sound very accurate because it was only about 1 or 2 minutes and only couple pictures before they came by and asked us to go to the station. Anyway my trip started with a visit to a Police Station in London, an excellent start to an exciting trip at least! The rest of the journey was uneventful.
