I LOVE London!

London was brilliant.  I make no such claim about my photography.

London was brilliant.  

In 35 hours we managed to visit/see/cross/meet the Tower of London including the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge, the Globe (of course), loads of street musicians, St Paul’s, two fellas being not very good on stunt bikes, the Millennium Bridge, the worst pizza ever made, a novelist, Regent Street, Eros, Piccadilly, a VERY fluid Macbeth (never wore so much foreign spit in my life), friendly southerners (really) and Bill Nighy!

Details to follow.

    London was our first overseas trip with the kids and we LOVED London too. We even caught a glimpse of the Queen and Prince Philip. It was awesome.

    London was great. I wish I could get fish and chips like that in the U.S.

    Oh… and the tourist sites were nice too.

    In my one trip to London, lo these many years ago, I missed the Globe theater. That won’t happen next time around. Glad you had a good time,

        There’s only two women in the whole world whose wrath I greatly fear. Can you guess them?

        Hints: I live with one and the other one blogs and talks funny. She says things like “bottoming” her house and using a “lift” and going to the “loo” and watching the “telly”

    Yep, that photo is just a tad manic, but then small wonder with all that crammed into such a small window of opportunity. Glad that you enjoyed it all.

    Phew – quite a programme!
    There is much about London to love, and it is easy enough to avoid the places one doesn’t.

    Lots of foreign spit? Can’t wait to hear your stories. Your stamina was awesome — how did you manage to pack everything in? So glad you had such a fantastic time!
