London

London is so busy, but exciting, and it has such a great atmosphere. There is so much to do and to see, believe me, our sore feet are proof of that!

We thought the 'flight' on the London Eye was fantastic with such great views, and not nearly as scary as I thought it would be, even standing against the glass didn't phase me, well, not much anyway.

A trip out to see the Lord's cricket ground was super, especially for Michael as it was something he had always wanted to see. The tour was very comprehensive and of course to actually see the Urn with the Ashes, well, what more can I say!

My cousins, Janie, Mick and Judi came to London for an overnight stay, and we met up with them at Covent Gardens for drinks - what a great atmosphere. Afterwards we went on a 'Janie' walking tour who is a seasoned traveller to London. Dinner together completed a great evening, made even more special as I hadn't seen Judi for over 20 years. The following day Janie continued the 'tour' and part of it was to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and surrounding gardens. We had a really lovely time with them all, indeed, a lot of fun!
