Dreaming of London

in #travel6 years ago

The hint of spring weather has me feeling restless. I feel like I've been trapped indoors for months. I haven't even left the state since December. @donvee and I are planning a few trips and while I'd like to visit somewhere new to us, there are places I'd gladly return. One of those is London.

We made it a point to try to see at least 3 attractions a day, which was a little difficult since so many things close early. We spent five days there and it still wasn't enough! The history! The architecture! Proper afternoon tea!!! I was in love.

On this trip we traveled with our friends @creepycrazylife and @bybrittany
They had been to London before so we were lucky to be traveling with friends who were familiar with the city and public transportation.

During our trip we visited the Tower of London, toured Buckingham Palace and Hampton Court, cruised on the River Thames, did the Tower Bridge Experience, visited the British Library, the British Museum, and the Imperial War Museum. The museum has a permanent Holocaust Exhibition which is especially moving.

One afternoon we just road on the top of a double decker bus and got to see so many sights. There was so much more, but still so much I didn't get to see and do.

Love your post. If you still in London, can go Westminster area to view the sunset. It is amazing

I used to work in the Palace of Westminster, it was the first half of 2007 and I was on a short term contact. I was free to roam about and was told 'Go where you want, if you cant go there someone will stop you'. Crazy rules! They took my badge when I left the gig, I was rather gutted. Was hoping to keep it as a momentum.

Most public phone boxes smell of piss, the young think its cool to do such things here :(

Ahh I love the 3 things a day plan! My husband and I ALWAYS do the same, but we call it three tastes. Then at then end of the day we’ll be like dang this was a seven taste day. I say travel like you are never going back to a place. Soak up everything. ☺️

Nice post @msvee, up voted! Cheers
