Day 13
Bristol Exploration
December 10, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
We set off to find the Bristol Cathedral and a few other things before heading to Bath. While in the posh Clifton neighborhood, we accidentally came across other amazing sites. First being the Clifton Suspension Bridge. We also discovered St. Anne's church, which was better than the cathedral.Read more

My lovely honey was kind enough to give me a crash course in London trains, tubes, and buses. I will have many options to get from here to there while he is away! Whew!

Scrub a Dub in Bath, England
December 10, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
What a lovely town! Even though the traffic is awful, the architecture and history are wonderful. We happened upon a Christmas Market at the center near the Roman bathhouse, with street vendors and performers. The Bath Church Abbey was a classic Gothic structure...a great day!Read more

Firas & Fatin Arrival
December 11, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Made it on time to pick up Fatin and Firas at the London Heathrow Airport....enjoyed an amazing Sticky Toffee Latte! Then we drove to my AirBnB place in West Ham to drop my luggage off. We put the address in the GPS and it took us to the wrong "Old Street" so we had to pay a London Congestion fee... £11.50! All because we drove thru the center area of London. The fee is to discouraged automobiles apparently. The coolest part was accidentally diving by Harley St. where Stefan lived when he worked in London as a young man.Read more
