Have you been out to the Magpie Cafe in Whitby for the country's best Fish & Chips yet?

Also don't forget to have a curry. Seriously. And Fortnum & Mason's High Tea. And Hamley's toy store which is just near F&M.

No, forgot to have that, missed that, and that as well.

It took four trains and two planes but I made it back home last night.



Travel tip: The Stonehenge docents can get a bit cranky if you point out "Your prehistoric stone circle is cool but did you know that about the same time Stonehenge was being built the Egyptians where building the great pyramid at Giza?"

"Yes, but we had to do it without being mean to Jews."

Reminds me of the time I was accosted by an elderly lady at the MET Museum who decided I was the person to rant to about the jewish slave problem in ancient Egypt. I was trapped in the tiny vestibule just as you enter the Egyptian wing, I almost grabed her cane and whacked her on the bean. She was, after all, a few thousand years too late. The hieroglyphs were really nicely done, too.

yeah, but probably only because there weren't any around to be mean to.

Sounds like a fun trip, Moonie! So glad to have your travelogue so we can enjoy it vicariously.

I should have known that one of your people would step on the joke.

The Hebrew exodus actually occurred when the Egyptians started enslaving blacks from the continent. Unfortunately, the suburbs hadn't been invented yet, so there was a lot of wandering. The four questions of the Passover seder used to include a fifth question, read first: "Nu, what's with all the schwarzes?"
