London, England...

When I am going through all the places in the book I have visited before this blog- I am just going in order of the book- since I am HORRIBLE at remembering the dates I visited these places. Hopefully moving forward this blog will help me keep track of when I visited where.
The first stop in the book for me is London, England. Ryan (my husband) and I visited London on our way back to the states from Italy. We unfortunately didn't get to spend much time there- so hopefully I will be blogging about this place again soon!

We started our day in London on one of the double decker bus tours. Seriously- who doesn't secretly want to ride in one of those double decker buses? Well, not me anymore! We ended up standing in long lines trying to get on and off the buses- it was a mess! The buses are packed! We thought it was the best way to see the most- since we only really had 1 full day in London. We were probably right but I would have rather beaten our own path. I hate to tell people not to do these tours because some people love them- but it wasn't the right choice for us!

One MAJOR London suggestion and Patricia suggested it- so I got to mark London off in the book- is "a night at the theater". We saw "Wicked". AMAZING! I love broadway shows and this one was just great!

Another thing that is a must to do in London is fish-and-chips and a pint at the pub. I am a huge fish-and-chips fan... I mean I (currently) live in Alaska, we eat halibut and chips all the time! I was surprised to find my fish in London included the bones and skin. I am not sure if this is common but I will say I like my fish-and-chips with no bones and skin. The pint was great though!

I wish I could have done more shopping, seen Buckingham Palace and had a good curry. However, those will be listed in my next blog post about London.

Safe travels! ~Neely
