In order to be able to stay in the US, i had to leave the country - which meant that I got to visit London! What I saw was only a drop in the ocean, as I was only there for 7 days - but I'll definetly be back!
My trip was off to a great start with a fantastic lunch at a great English pub, with a creek running at the back... it was like something out of a picture book.
While I was staying out in the country I also got to see Stonehenge which was terrific. I can't believe they moved those great big slabs of Bluestone all the way from Wales, about 4700 years ago!
This is the house where I stayed when I was out in the countryside. Again, it was like out of a picture book. So English! There was even a creek running out the back where they went fly fishing.
Over the weekend I went and stayed with my long lost cousin and it was great not only catching up, but having my own personal tour guide of London!
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliment - just amazing buildings. So detailed, so huge!
During the afternoon we strolled along the Thames, past the Dali gallery, and past the London Eye. Past Shakespears Globe (where I'd love to see a show on a longer visit).
Later in the day we anchored into a pub where I discovered Cider! I have so much to learn!
Sunday they took me out to Camden Market which was great, so punk! I easily could have wondered around there all day.
Also did the Aussie thing and went to a Walkabout Club and had a Snakebite (half beer, half cider, and red cordial). Unfortunately the location where Dad has a life membership for is now closed, but by the looks of the croud there - nothing much has changed since 1977.
Also had a ride on a double decker bus! Whoo!
Also made a quick trip out to Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen.
