Well it didn’t look all that promising this morning. It was grey and overcast but warm, so ideal really for a walk. My brother had decided to head off to the Yorkshire Dales, a beautiful part of the county made famous by television programmes like All Creatures Great and Small and Last of the Summer Read More »
*We arrived at 7am after an overnight flight (ugh!)and decided to take a quick tour of London on no sleep since our room would not be ready until after 2pm. We had purchased a London Pass which gives you unlimited transportation and access to various museums, etc. around London (a good buy!) and our first stop was Kensington Palace. We Read More »
After our morning Eurostar fiasco, we arrived in London: the land of the football (soccer) crazed fans, C’mon England! I became an England fan in 2002 during my first trip to Europe and we were in London during that World Cup (held that year in Korea, but Leicester Square was insane). We didn’t have any problems adjusting Read More »
London, Oxford and Nottingham were all neat. Very different experience in England this time with friends as opposed to family. I’ll keep this short as I am typing this weeks after my trip: Highlights “This is the voice of God” The single bed room hotel in London that felt like the size of my closet. Still Read More »

We arrived in Newcastle at dusk and proceeded into the city center to scout a good camping spot. As we stood on a busy street corner trying to decide which way would lead us to a safe night’s sleep, Dave, a fellow traveler stopped to give us some advice. Maybe it was our exhausted blank Read More »
Thursday, August 31, 2006 We arrived Thursday morning about 8 AM after an 8 hour flight from Dallas. That would be midnight Wednesday on California time. The flight was mostly smooth and went by quite quickly. Even though we were jet lagged, we pushed on and found a train from Gatwick airport to Victoria Station Read More »
We weren’t sure what to expect of the Tower of London, but we were so impressed with what we did see, it was probably one of our highlights. Definitely a whole day is required to fully explore this place. It was much bigger than we had expected and it’s so well looked after and in Read More »
We all decided it was safest to get to the airport the afternoon before Tony’s 1:30pm flight, just in case there was some difficulty getting the bikes to the station.
