The best til last
5 september 2019, England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
What a great day we had on our last day in London. We went to Madam Tussaud's where we had photos with some famous faces. Then a leisurely stroll to the London zoo and a ride along the back canals of London lovingly called Little Venice. The long boat ride took us to the Camden market where we enjoyed some street food and shopping. We finished our night out at the theatre Come from away and a sneaky whisky.Läs mer

We spent the morning checking out the Florence Nightingale Museum and marveling in the origins of nursing and then off to the Beefeater Gin distillery to learn about its beginnings. A quick cheeky tasting and g&t then had us refreshed and off to Hyde Park where we wandered the grounds then visited Kensington Palace. We made our way to Harrods where we had a lovely but expensive lunch in the dining hall and quickly realised we couldn't afford anything. We fundus the day off with a picnic in the hotel room where we could put our feet up and watch a movie.Läs mer

We set out early in the morning and visited St Paul's Cathedral where we climbed the 528 steps to the Golden Gallery and were rewarded with beautiful views of the city. A wander through the Tower Bridge had us walking over the clear glass East and west walkways before having a tour of the engine room. We then had a quick stop at the Tower of London and viewed the crown jewels before taking a cruise on the river Thames. Our stop first was the Cutty Sark which turned out to be the fastest British tea clipper of its time. We then went up the river enjoying the jokes of our tour guide to the London Eye were we finished the day of with dinner amazing views.Läs mer

Eurostar adventures

Feeling a bit like a packhorse we made our way on the metro to the Eurostar where we caught the train to London. A quick taxi ride had us arrive at our hotel St Giles in the afternoon. We walked around the streets for the afternoon and enjoyed a beer and burger while watching street performers in Leicester Square. We had a look in Lego and M&M world then window shopped all the way back to our hotel.Läs mer

A day of meandering through Jardin des Tuileries Gardens, discovering the beautiful works of Monet and Picasso at the Musèe de l'Orangerie and playing find and seek with the Mona Lisa at the Louvre we really got our step count up. We stopped in at Les Caves du Louvre where we tried some French wines and discovered what makes it different to our wines. Another visit to the Eiffel Tower and a quick viewing of the Paris Aquarium had us exhausted!Läs mer

What a breathtakingly, magical place the city of Paris is. We spent the day on the hop on hop off bus checking out the sites of the city. Some of the highlights were Arc de Triomphe, Sacrè Coeur Basilica and it's views of the city, Musèe d'Orsay which had works by Van Gogh and Monet on display and the Citē de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine. We passed Notre Dame but it was all closed off from public access due to repairs. We finished with a sunset cruise on the Seine and watching the sunset at the Eiffel Tower.Läs mer

14hrs and two weary travellers later we landed in Dubai. First stop the Dubai Mall to see what everyone was talking and wow, definately not disappointed. Home to the largest suspended aquarium it had over 400 species of sharks and fish, a pop up star wars life size exhibit and lots of shopping. We managed to catch the Dubai Fountains, world's largest choreographed fountain, in action which was exquisite. We walked around the Burj Khalifa struggling to find the entrance only to discover it was in the mall. It is the world's tallest tower with a staggering height of 829.8m.Läs mer
