This morning we got all our things together (hopefully!) and headed to the tube. We went to Euston station, where we picked up our tickets for the train/ferry trip to London. While we waited for the train we had a coffee in a cafe at the station, where Darren and I got some porridge and a croissant. It was the best porridge I've ever tasted! And it's from a train station! I think I'll have to hunt down some more amazing porridge when we come back!! We found our p...

Today we decided to have a mega sleep in. I don't think we got up until about 10-11, and didn't leave the hostel until about 1pm! We went for a walk up the street to go find some 'high tea'. Which I discovered is not actually what I thought it was. I imagine high tea as having those pretty little cups, a pot of tea, scones and biscuits etc, but apparently the real meaning of high tea is more like a meal, and comes from the idea of having tea and food at a high ta...

We had a pre-booked tour of Stonehenge today, so we got up and went on the tube to Victoria, where we had a coffee in a little cafe, while we tried to figure out where to go!

The first leg of the tour was from London to Bath, which is about a 2 or so hour trip. The driver was terrible! After only about 15 mi...

We got up today and went without breakfast, in order to hunt down an 'English Breakfast'. So we went for a walk down the street, passed quite a few places, but just kept walking for a bit. Felt nice to stretch our legs out after the cramped hostel rooms :P We got to the little cafe for breakfast, ordered, and got our meals. Lyle got some black pudding, cos we told him he had to (but didn't tell him what it was). He enjoyed it, said it was quite nice and a little ...

Woke up today, and headed down to Buckingham Palace. As we were walking up the road by St James' Park, we stopped for a look at the cute little squirrels running all around the place. There was a couple trying to get a picture of one of them, and it was getting quite close to them. So I thought I'd see how close I could get, when all of a sudden, one of them was climbing on me! It climbed up my leg, over my jacket and onto my arm! So cute! After that we headed up...
