No Segway tours in London. Hummm. EuroDisney is only a 5-hour train ride.... |
Museum priority for me is V&A, Tate Modern, British.
Plan time to just wander Hyde Park. Go see if the blue c0ck is still erect in Trafalgar Square by the time you get there. Have a curry. Definitely run around doing an Austin Powers impersonation at any opportunity. The locals LOVE that. |
Don't get eggplant parmesan (or aubergine parmesan as it was on the menu). Not remotely what you'd expect.
And also be aware that jaywalking is not at all a crime and sometimes it is the only way to get to a place. This is solely to increase the chance of Americans getting run over for looking the wrong way when dashing across. |
Greenwich, visit the Harrison clocks. Stand on the Prime Meridian.

Even laundry is more fun when you know you will be wearing said clothes in freaking London!
We have added a Sunrise visit to Stonehenge along with Oxford and Windsor Castle. Greenwich is on the list along with the London Eye, A show to be named later, at least a full day at the British museum, the Harry Potter tour, Tower Bridge, fish and chips, and other misc sites. |
OOoooohh, that sounds amazing!!!! Lucky you!

A few nights ago I spotted Venus in the night sky outside of T's bedroom window. We spent some time talking about it, and the moon, and other planets. Tonight, Saturn made an appearance, with T excitedly waiting until it was dark enough to see it. We then retreated into his blanket-tent with the lights out, armed with a flashlight, a bouncy ball as the sun, and a handful of coins to represent planets.

Maybe he'll be the next Carl Sagan. :)

Damn! European's are genius. My shower here in London has a single bottle that works as both soap and shampoo! Brilliant!
The crown jewel things are kinda alright as well. I'm off to the British museum and the Rosetta stone. Ta ta blokes. |
