We got into London safely early this morning! The airport was super clean and seemed really new. We flew into Stansted which was about an hour away from our hotel in Kensington, London. It was crazy to hear all the British accents, gotta love that!! The cool thing I noticed in the airport was the Cadbury vending machines!! It was awesome!! If you think there is only Cadbury eggs, you got it all wrong!! They have all different flavors of chocolate and different types of cookies!!! I thought th...
London, United Kingdom amy22This morning we woke up at 7 to be out the door by 8:30. We got ready and headed down for breakfast, same deal as yesterday with the sandwiches!! hah!! Then we signed up for a day trip to go on tomorrow and we were out the door!! We had to be up so early because we had to walk to our tour location for the Changing of the Guards. We had to hike it there the whole way; Julie and I were sweating while trying to catch up to long legged Justine and Jackie! It took us about an hour to get there and...
London, United Kingdom amy22Today we got to sleep in a bit before we headed out to the city!! We just hit up the last few things we wanted to see in London!! Walking through Hyde Park was soo pretty with all the trees!! Everyone is out playing fútbol or frisbee, people on bikes, lots of people running, and even people just sitting enjoying a day in the park!! It was nice because you dont see that a lot in the US. Our first stop was definitely the guards at St. James' Palace!!! Yes, the guards you can take pictures with!...
London, United Kingdom amy22Dawn took us to a small train station about 15 minutes from her house to catch the commuter train to Brussels Midi. We were trying to catch the 7:17 train with all of about 2 minutes to spare! We ran into the station (Dawn with Benny in her arms, insisting she get us to the right place), no time to buy tickets so Dawn said to just chance it and go without them. Well, after the metro the day before, I was fine with that so we hugged her goodbye and ran to the platform. Once we got there, we re...
London, England, United Kingdom jennieDay two in London. The weather was true to London's reputation - gray and cool but not quite cold. Our breakfast buffet was ok. There were eggs, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, pastries, cereals, fruit, toast and yogurt. I made the mistake of trying a croissant, but after days of French ones, this was a disappointment! Definitely a mass produced, frozen one. I decided to just stick with the bran flakes and hot chocolate! To start the day, we took the Tube to Little Venice for a 10:30 canal ...
London, United Kingdom jennieLast day of vacation. First stop was Portobello Road Market! The holy grail of all flea markets/antique shops. The road went on for blocks and blocks and we didn't see all of it, much less all of the shops along the road. The first area we passed had produce/food vendors and we had a lemon and sugar crepe. I think the butter and sugar one is better. Darin and I searched for a cameo for his Mom. Saw plenty of them but since neither of us are big fans of cameos, we never could decide. We'll jus...
London, United Kingdom jennieI went to London to see the Queen.....and she wasn't there. I guess it was expected. Mum and I arrived in London exhausted but thrilled. Lots to see, lots to do and we didn't get through it all but we gave it a good try. I truly enjoyed London though I regret spending so much of time in sights and attractions and not enough time wandering the streets. It is definitely something that I learned to do more of as I continued my travels. That being said - I still think that it is a fabulous city....
London, England, United Kingdom kamypHi everyone! I'm here in London at our hotel writing this email. We arrived on the 1st (in London time) at 7am. My flight was late and customs took forever so I actually got done with all that about 8:30. My friend was waiting for me outside of customs and we hopped on a train into the city. We then went on to our hotel which is really quite nice and it is going to spoil us for the next places we stay which are hostels and probably ******! :) We did the hop-on, hop-off bus the 1st day and saw...
