England 06

What a place; but wow, are we glad to be back on this side of the Atlantic with all the news from London this week. We crammed a lot in a week, but with the 3 nights in one place for our hikes, it all worked out well. Upon arriving in London we drove down to Brighton, which has a very strange pebble beach and a pier with rides, food, etc. –pretty place. In London, we went to Piccadilly Circus, rode the red bus all around town and saw London Bridge, Big Ben, etc. We also were able to hop on and off so we popped into the National Gallery (all museums and galleries are free), and went for a ride on the London Eye. After London, we drove to Stonehenge… which as amazing of course and then on to Bath where all the dirty Romans went. Our house for the hiking part of the trip was in Bourton-on-the-Water - probably the prettiest town I’ve ever seen. The walks were great; we were the only Americans, which was kind of cool. Each day we were bussed to a different part of the Cotswolds and took leisurely walks through towns and countryside. Bob even caught a trout, but that’s another story. All in all – a great trip.

Here is a link to a few more pictures. More pixs.


Robyn, you are right, the Blog is not the place to load a lot many pictures. It's too slow. I used http://www.photobucket.com for the slide show linked above - but http://www.snapfish.com or http://photo.epson.com/ are also good (and free)
