Our adventure begins
14 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Today, a new chapter begins. It started pretty uneventfully, as we all packed up our respective suitcases and then drove from Albany to Medway. When we arrived, we had a nice dinner with Mom’s family. Afterwards, I hung out with Aiden and Andrew while Mom and Dad stayed up talking with the other adults. Tomorrow we leave from Logan airport to go to London. There’s a lot of nervous energy.Leer más

We’re off!
15 de agosto de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
This is it! We started the day low key. After breakfast, Mom, Gram, and I went to Kohls, spending all of mom’s Kohls cash before it expires, and Dad photographed about a million pages from his library books, so he doesn’t have to take them with him to Ireland. (He’s sending them back to Albany with Gram and Pop.) Our driver came in the afternoon and took us to Logan, where we checked into security and found our gate. Our plane got here on time. Tomorrow morning, we’ll be in London!Leer más

London!
16 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We got to Heathrow around 6:30 am English time and then took the train to drop off our bags. We then walked the length of Hyde park which included seeing Kensington palace, many ponds, and a GIANT statue of queen Victoria’s husband — Albert prince consort. After the park, the fam headed to Buckingham Palace and saw the royal guards marching through the streets. Then we had brunch at a restaurant named Billy’s. Next, we headed to the Westminster Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the parliament building, and Big Ben. Finally, we trudged onto the Tate Britain museum and took the tube home. For dinner, we had pub food from a restaurant named The Hillgate. What a day!Leer más

London Vol. 2!
17 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Our day today was a bit quieter than yesterday, but not by much. We each got 13 hours of sleep which definitely helped with our jet lag. We headed out for coffee/tea at Guillam and croissants at a bakery called Cherry On. Then we took the tube to the British museum where we stayed for about 4 hours (and we didn’t even see everything!!). We stopped for drinks and charcuterie at the Windsor Castle pub, and continued on to Cinquecento for pizza and gnocchi. We started the evening with a walk around Notting Hill and pastries. We’re now finishing the day by watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban!Leer más

Viajero I recognize the British Museum- SO much to see. We’re those the Elgin (sp?) Marbles? Isn’t there a reading room right at the entrance?

London Vol. 3!
18 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
We had a lovely final day in London! My parents let me sleep late, so our day started around 10:30am. It was raining for about an hour, but then cleared up. We walked to a restaurant named Sunday in Brooklyn for brunch. From there, we hopped on a double decker bus that took us from Notting Hill to the London Bridge. We walked to a market and shopped around before stopping at the Somerset house for snacks. We ended up also jumping around the splash pad for a bit of a cool down since it had warmed up since the morning rain. After that we headed to St. Paul’s Cathedral where we got in for free for the evensong service, though we didn’t stay to hear it. We went back to the London Bridge and took a TOOTBus tour home to Notting Hill. For dinner, we got food from M&S Food and ate at our flat. Right now, we’re finishing the day with a little British television.Leer más

19 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
We started off our day with some strategic packing of our backpacks because we left our suitcases at the London flat. We hopped on the Underground and went to Liverpool Street Station where we caught our train to Norwich, where we’re visiting Dad’s friend David Milne. David picked us up at the station and gave us a quick tour of the city. After arriving at his house around 1:30pm, we had some afternoon snacks with David, his wife Emma + their kids Anna and Ben. We then went on a walk in the park with their dog, Bobby, followed by a delicious dinner at their favorite pub. We did lots of walking today and enjoyed the nice weather!Leer más

Norwich Vol. 2!
20 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
All of us slept in a little later this morning and had a lovely breakfast of cake. We then got ready for the day and started off by watching the women’s world cup final (c’mon England!). After an unfortunate loss, we had a barbecue of chicken, sausage, corn + bread with assorted dips. That was wonderful, and we walked it off afterwards in the nearby park. We did some more walking through Norwich City, seeing about 5 of the 31 medieval churches. Then we rewarded ourselves with some gelato. When we got home, we had a chill night. David introduced us to Derry Girls in preparation for our trip to Belfast in a few days. We finished off the night with charcuterie remains and a bit of nice conversation.Leer más

We woke up today and had a great last morning lounging about with David, Emma + Anna. We said goodbye and headed to the train station around 10 for our 11 o’clock train. With one stop along the way and an hour and a half later, we made it to Cambridge! Dad’s friend Andrew picked us up and we arrived at his house where the rest of his family was. We had a wonderful lunch before taking time to walk around a bit of Cambridge with their dog, Olive. And then stopped at The Castle pub for drinks. After some fun conversation, we headed back home for food and had a delicious dinner. We spent more time chatting over tea and dessert afterwards, enjoying each other’s company.Leer más

Cambridge Vol. 2!
22 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
We all started our day with small pastries for breakfast and then moved onto exercise. Mom joined a bootcamp in the park with Andrew’s wife, Fran, while Dad and I went for a walk with Andrew and Olive. We then all retreated back to the house to drop off Fran and grab our bags. Andrew showed us about a fifth of Cambridge University’s colleges. They had their similarities, but I was surprised by their differences too. The Preston’s daughter Rosie joined us for lunch in a pub named the Eagle. After that we got ice cream and walked Clare College where Andrew teaches. Next we grabbed some drinks and went punting, essentially a less glamorous version of Venetian boating where the raft is propelled by someone repeatedly pushing a long rod. We spent an hour and change on the river before Andrew, Rosie, and Ryan headed back to make dinner while Amy and Penny explored town. By 6:30 we all were back at the house. We chatted before having a lovely bbq dinner.Leer más

Belfast!
23 de agosto de 2023, Irlanda del Norte ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Today was a busy travel day for us. We said our goodbyes early in the morning and hopped on the train from Cambridge to London. We took the Underground to our previous flat where we had stored our bags. Next, we got back on the Underground to our Heathrow terminal. (The Elizabeth line is incredibly nice.) After that we checked our bags and had a bit of trouble in security, but proceeded onward. We stopped for some late lunch and then sat in the terminal for just under 2 hours. Once we boarded our flight, it took about an hour and a half to get to Belfast. We took a taxi to our airbnb and explored the town, then finally ended the night with food from Tesco and Derry Girls.Leer más
