Day 254

Posted on September 11, 2010 by dtsphoto365

Today was very nice and relaxing… sleeping in, large English breakfast of oil (bacon, bangers, eggs…), a train ride out to the Gardens and then the train ride back. Shane and Jule spent the day with us… We went out to Kew Gardens (another palace from the day) and we walked around a bit. It was great weather, almost too warm for London. 🙂

Shane then cooked a HUGE dinner… Dave and I packed up and then we also took a “quick” (2.5 hour) journey down to Tower Bridge to take some more night time photos. When we got back we had chili, bangers & mash and finished it off with some chocolate cookies and tea. Yum.

Back home tomorrow on a NINE hour flight… I’m a little nervous as turbulence has got me all upset lately. But, I really don’t have much of a choice, eh?

Day 211

Posted on July 30, 2010 by dtsphoto365

So tired… Went to bed last night around 2 am. I’m here again at 1:49 am typing my day! And we got up around 7 am this morning to see Lady Liberty. Now, I will say that there was a great 2 hour nap today. 🙂

Again… In order of events. Not many because Liberty / Ellis Island take a long time. Tomorrow: Empire State Building, Central Park, Harbor Tour.
