CHECKING IN: Sorry for the radio silence. Our transition from NY to London was loooong and taxing. Our flight was delayed by hours and hours, and when we got to England we were dead tired, and have had sketchy, at best, Internet connections.
I have about 500 photos of our British travels so far, I think, but the slow bandwidth here is not letting me post them to the blog. They'll have to wait. In the meantime, here's a quick rundown.
To date we have visited the Warner Brothers' Harry Potter exhibit northwest of London (it was AMAZING, and I've not even read a single book in the series). I have some great photos of our experience, and even some video of CJ and Annabelle flying on a quidditch broom!
We went to see Roger Waters on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium. So many stories to tell about that day/night, but the short version was the concert was aMaZiNg.
The next day we drove to Salisbury, and visited nearby Stonehenge. That was fantastic, of course.
We also visited Roman-era Old Sarum - twice. The first time we didn't quite make it in as a motorhome ran into us and us off the road.
We went back to the attraction and enjoyed a wind-whipped (as in 50 MPH gusts), quick tour.
The next morning, our first stop was the jaw-dropping Salisbury Cathedral.
I have lots more photos to share; the above and below are just a start.
After that, we drove down to the Isle of Wight, which is off the southern coast (a ferry was involved, of course), and we checked out the absolutely astounding Carisbrooke Castle.
This morning (Tuesday), we left the Isle of Wight, headed back to London. Today, we stopped by Buckingham Palace and its famed guards, saw Big Ben in the distance, and rode the tube for the first time!
Tomorrow, its the science museum and more.
