Update From London!


Guest

802 views

First please forgive any typos as I have had 4 hrs sleep in since Tues night with a very light 3 hrs in-between.

What can I say, so far I'm having a great time although I am dead tired. I arrived yesterday at my hotel at 11 am their time (6am our) and I didn't sleep last night (I tried :) ) . I had walked all over the area yesterday and ended up last night at Harrods’s visiting Father Christmas (yes, I took my photo with him) and today I was all over London literally. I visited the Dungeons, saw Big Ben, Parliament, West Minister Abby, all the sites. Only went to the dungeons though and took a cruise on the river Thames, rode on the underground as I had enough of the bus :) . Tomorrow I plan on shopping on Oxford St and maybe visit Kensington Palace, which is where Princess Di lived. They have a museum. I am loving it here but there is just so much to do and unfortunately nothing stays opened very late. Most places close at 5 and shops close between 6 and 7. Only restaurants stay opened later. Will hope to wake and move earlier the next few days. Will try to update again soon, bye for now :( !

Well I did get to Kennsigton Palace yesterday as well AS Madame Tussards wax museum. Very cool place. Today I took a train ride to York, awesome city, very storybook like. I also got to meet an awesome friend of mine and spent the day with him. We went ice skating and I fell once but it was great. Hadn't done it since I was about 15. Tomorrow is Stonehenge and Bath and Wed home. Will try to update tomorrow smile.gif

bye for now!

Well I'm writing this from home, what a long day yesterday was. I started traveling at 7:50 am London time (2:50 NY time) and got back home at 8:00 pm NY time ( 1:00am London time) I never really adjusted to the time change and sleep was very hard for me on the trip. Last night I went to bed normal time and woke up like I normally would. Feeling a little tired but nothing major.

Tues I took a bus/coach tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. Started at 8am and got back 10pm, long day tongue.gif but very very nice. Windsor Castle is absolutely amazing. I was in such awe as I walked through it, speechless at times. Watched some of the changing of the guard, and went through St George's Chapel and saw Queen Mary's doll house.

Stonehenge was nice too although it was very cold out. Didn't stay out there too long. Bath is a city made of all stone house and has the Roman baths where it's the UK's only natural hot spring. Water comes from the stones there at a temp of about 120 degrees. It was said to have healing powers and the rich used to go there to heal whatever was ailing them.

I have taken many photos but need to select a few, size them, and then get them on a page where I'll post the link if anyone is interested.

I loved London, needed about 2 more days as I'd have liked to see the London Tower (saw it from the outside but tour it) and ride the London Eye. It has been said London is the most expensive city in the world, I don't really doubt it as I didn't buy very much there (our US money is only worth about 1/2) but I'd highly recommend going there. I'd go back in an instant if I could afford too tongue.gif !
