Mom and I just went on a European Cruise for two and a half weeks. As I get the time, I'll put up a few posts from the different places that we went.The trip started in London, UK. We decided to fly in a day early, to give ourselves some buffer in case there were any flight/luggage/jet lag issues. We both have been to London before, so a day was actually sufficient for us. We checked in to the hotel, and then started wandering around the city looking to amuse ourselves.
First stop is obvious, if you know my mom & I ... gotta get some food! We found a 'pancake' stand near Westminster Abbey. They're basically crepes, but thicker. We had tomato & cheese, and banana nutella ... mmmm.
We decided to wander up to the West End - London's theatre disrict. We bought half price tickets & saw Blood Brothers. We had never heard of it, but it turns out it's been playing for 20 years and has won all kinds of awards. It was a good show - although we were struggling a bit with our jet lag. Don't tell anybody, but we were both wiping away tears at the end.
After the show, we had Fish & Chips by the London Eye, and then wandered along the banks of the Thames, where Mom bought an ice cream.
In other news, I'm pretty sure England is one of the few great places in Europe for breakfast. Gotta love a full english breakfast.
