Trip to London

Hi everyone,

I got back from London a few days ago. It was my first trip. The friend I was travelling with humored me by letting me wander through a few places I'd heard about in romance novels-- although she did occasionally ask "Why are we here?"

So, I

-popped into Hyde Park and saw the Serpentine,

-wandered through Berkely Square, down Bond Street (to the old section), up Picaddilly (and stopped into Waterstone-- the largest bookstore I've ever been in)

-sat in Covent Garden and had mulled wine and watched a balloon dancer (she was attached to a small hot air balloon)

- visited the Tower of London,

- took a day trip to Bath

-visited Windsor (and Stonehenge on the same trip)

- took a Jack the Ripper tour.

We did some other things, but this is how reading romance novels have now even begun to affect my travels!

I am so jealous! I would have loaded up on Royal Doulton in the duty free shop at the airport!

LOL. No. But it was pointed out to us as we left town on a tour. The tour guide says that the business that is there recieves a lot of mail for Holmes, people asking for help.

My daughter is currently in NZ on holiday. In fact just yesterday she wrote saying she was currently in Bay of Plenty, which I thought sounded like the Garden of Eden! She checked out the volcano White Island and said she's going sky diving today. I'm quite nervous http://100percentpure.wordpress.com/
