    When we first woke up (after we got ready) we went to get breakfast at a place called Jones grocer which was the best breakfast we ever had!

    Hamilton was clearly the highlight of today. A show full of energy about G Washington's right-hand man. We were all literally blown away by the performances of the ensemble. Before we had a wonderful day packed with sightseeing including the London Eye (after waiting for 45 min) and Tate gallery with an exhibition about the Blue Rider. Before the evening show we enjoyed Waterstones where we all bought books - you wouldn't believe it. Kids were hooked to their books until the show startedRead more

  • Meeting an old friend

    August 6, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We took it easy this morning and only left house around 1pm. What a better place to meet my old friend Stuart than at McDonalds. To be fair that wasn't the plan but his girls were hungry after a 2h train ride from Cambridge to King's Cross. We briefly checked in at Harry Potter 9 3/4 gate and then continued to the science museum near Hyde Park. After a warm up phase the kids got along really well. Stuarts Emma n Alice 14 n 10 years respectively. Afterwards we had food on the go as I booked tickets for the paradox Museum. The kids loved it while we went for coffee. At 8pm it was time to say good bye to Stuart and family. We took a stroll through Hyde Park before heading homeRead more

    It took me 53 years to get into madame tussauds. But what fun it was for all of us. Different generations admiring different personalities.

In the london dungeon experience we learnt about revolutions the black death ... how scary. And later on it got really wicked.Read more
