I’m off again. This trip will include London, Paris, Tbilisi, Istanbul, Bruges and Edinburgh. I’m traveling with Cora’s smiley bracelet. 😊
Settling into my pod. I ended up watching a British comedy-drama, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I thought it was good—take control of your dreams, your own life by choosing to live it to the fullest.
My first stop is London. Second stop, Paris—Erika, my niece, will be joining me in Paris. Third stop, Tbilisi. I can’t wait to see Mike!
Hello, London. Touchdown at 9AM London time.
Lots of iconic London pictures. I was sure that if I stopped walking, I would fall asleep.
So. Much. Shopping. Wish I had more time!
Iconic Red Phone Booth. These are actually all over the city—photo ops.
London’s cherry red double-decker bus is practically a national symbol.
Victoria and Albert Museum. One of the largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design.
Wellington Arch. It was originally intended as an outer entrance to Buckingham Palace.
The Royal Artillery Memorial—a First World War memorial located on Hyde Park Corner.
The Mall. Victoria Memorial.
Buckingham Palace. And the balcony!
Buckingham Palace and the famous balcony. Where the heck was everyone? Didn’t they get the memo that I was in town?
The horse posed for me.
Twice! He likes me. ; )
Churchill statue.
Westminster Abbey. So many coronations. So many weddings.
Big Ben up close—the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster.
Most of the Palace of Westminster in its full glory.St. James’ Park. They are all so beautiful!
I am so tired. Trying to keep up. Hopefully I will get better as the vacation progresses.
Today’s travels were by plane and foot. I’m walking; I’m walking.
