Sunday (18th) Sorry for the delay... We left the Schmidt's early, 7:45am as we needed to drive 5 hours to Lynne and Christopher's and we had a precious afternoon with them. We stopped at a little town in France. It was so cute with bright houses and old buildings. Andrew and I shared a coconut meringue - yum. We continued our drive and were blessed with amazing scenery (castles and ruins on nearly every hill) it was very beautiful. We found Lynne and Christop...

London day four (thursday 22nd august) Well, our trip is drawing to an end. After breakfast we packed our suitcases (ever so carefully) then headed to the train station to enjoy our last day in London. Rachel was very good to us and has said we can leave our bags in our room. It will be great as we can have a shower etc before heading to the airport this afternoon. We made our way to the Natural History Museum. We had given ourselves a precious 2 hrs to see t...

London day three (21st August) Sorry I didn't post last night...just too tired. Wicked was amazing but we didn't get back until midnight so we were both exhausted and slept in until 9:30.

The sky network films their news. There are cinemas, restaurants, and the big arena. W...

The day began with a beautiful breakfast. We then headed in for a ferry ride up the Themes. The guide was quite funny and made the trip quite enjoyable. We jumped off at the London Tower, walked around the outside and headed for tower bridge. At one point Andrew asked if I had an invisibility coat on as people kept walking into me. I was doing my best to avoid them. The tower bridge museum was really interesting. We even saw the engine room and how it worked to l...

London, England (19th August) Andrew and I have had a great day. We were all up at 4am to get ready to leave. We had to be at Geneva airport at 5:30am. Our flight was good and we spent the time working out what we wanted to do and see. Customs and boarder control took an hour and a half. It was painfully slow. We both needed the loo but couldn't leave or we'd lose our spot. My phone died so we were left with people watching as our main distraction. There are s...
