What a whirlwind!!! Heading to Europe was amazing! I would live there in a second! Been that my Hubby is a Brit- it was very fun to see how he saw it there! He left Liverpool on the ship to Canada at age 3 and had not been back yet :)
We won a 2 night trip to see Michael Buble in London in concert ( no pics :( ) that concert was sweet!!!
So we asked for an extension, as 3 days is not enough with the distance and jet lag- to our delight we were offered an extra 7 or 10 days- we took the 10! No charge! on Air transit- so we just had to find the rest of the accommodations! No worries.
We arrived at 630 am Saturday morning to London-time- took the train from Gatwick airport- into London- walked out of the station into a scene of red double decker buses, and people starting their day, as we pulled our suitcases along!
Hubby flagged a taxi, we would of never gotten to the hotel by metro or aimlessly walking. It was fun! We left stuff there- and headed to a bookstore- only thing opened, peeked around in there.
Found a cute little restaurant and had our first English breakie :) ok I had salmon- it was yummy! Portion in Uk are big, and shops close early- and eats too 9 or 10 pm some most places :(
After breakie- we walked around-walked through hyde park- and Kensington park! Wow its like all the pictures you see! and then went back to the hotel- by this time 1:30- we were able to check in! dinner at Pizza Hut- a fancy one lol! with wine too- funny! then when and watched some Telly at the hotel- bed till about 2am. It was great- we usually stay up at home very late past 1 am on weekends, so it was no biggie

It sounded so fun! Not sure I could handle salmon for breakfast. :(
Love Big Ben and Buckingham. I can still remember being there even though it was many years ago!
So glad you had the opportunity to go - can't wait to see more pics.
No, no fish for breakie. That is wrong.
yes, it was def different!
Darryl loves salmon for breakfast when he is away travelling...I really don't get that at all...but I'm not a fish lover! It is common in Europe though and plenty seem to like it!
Ha Ha Ha! Yes my Hubby too- its fine for breakie. So many different traditions- :) In Russia they eat bread and cheese and meat for breakie- that I loved and Chai.
