Best Western Homestead Court Hotel Welwyn Garden City

Royal London Walking Tour: Attempt 2 <br><br><br><br>Having only experienced half this tour on Saturday, I decided to give it another shot with Deutsch. With a group of 30 or so, we were taken to a number of famous sights, incl. Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, Downing St, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben. And plenty of Monopoly squares like Whitehall and Pall Mall, where I can tell you prices are far in excess of 140 pounds. Even for hotels ...

Got back to Welwyn Garden City to a media frenzy. Within minutes of walking in the door Matt was on the phone for live interview with a local radio station, the day before he'd been in the local newspaper and the day I arrived he was featured in 4 national newspapers - all about **** Elvis and our round the world trip. It was al a bit mad and exciting.

Today was a very special day. We woke up late and took a train to the London bridge station, where we the took the RV1 bus to Tate Modern stop. August marks a special time at Tate's. This is a time for street art painted on local buildings and an independent art film exhibit, as well. First we made our way to the famous Globe theater. After purchasing tickets for the 7:30 showing of "Timon of Athens", we took a tour of the theater itself and learned ...

Matt's friends had arranged for a night out to catch up and have a few drinks. So we all met at the Pea Hen in St Albans. It was really nice to see everyone again. Matt rally enjoyed catching up with all those who he doesn't get to see very often. It was a bit like a reunion!

... socks to sleep in... then in the morning we got more food and more drinks (non-alcoholic of course). So the flight was VERY nice, and we ended up getting to London 15 minutes EARLY. I didn't know that happened with planes! When we landed, it was raining. We got our luggage and got on the subway, wait--the tube--to our hostel. Immediately after getting our luggage, both Andrea and I realized that our backpacks are wayyyy too ...

... a Monday so everyone was as everyone is on a Monday morning, but the atmosphere was great and after that first day I felt grateful that we have such an awesome team -though half of them are Polish! We had to sit down a lot though and it soon became tiring and some of us had become quite keen on just getting started (i.e me) but it was obvious that there was still a ...

... who create it and equally so to those who inherit the rights to it. Haf-fa was entrusted by Sun Ra to administer his legacy and he is currently doing this without financial recompense. Without the aid of music business lawyers he battles against a chaotic paper trail of dubious origin in an attempt to establish his rightful role. He has been doing this since 1993. Sun Ra's music is being played constantly all over the world, but where the royalties for this are ...

... It is 2:19 right now, I am going for a run at three. Dad and Annie are napping! The sun is shining, and it is a beautiful day to run up to the white horse pub and back! I had a lovely run, though I did attract a lot of strange looks from the motorists passing by. Digswell, and quite frankly, all of Hertfordshire is picturesque. The houses, some built when King James ruled and others contemporary blend together nicely. When I returned to ...

... and approach the exit to the main platform stations- the inspector lets me go without me having to show my ticket. ( I would have had to put everything down again) wonderful .Then its onto the underground- down the steps through the electronic ticket barrier - again not wide enough to go through - heaving each bag through separately first the smaller bags then the large red one( borrowed from Amanda). Here there was a definate risk to other travellers who ...

... everything that we need, and that's including the his & her long john's - dont laugh! China being our first stop at -3 it's essential that we pack everything from scarves, gloves and thermals! We've read all the essential guides, and the more we read, the more excited we get...! Anyway, I'm sure we'll have more to say when we get to China - but for now watch this space...! x
