London, England

I made it to London and my hotel with a minimum of fuss. The train was on time and my guidebook gave great information about using the Underground – London's subway system. The hotel sits right on top of one of the Underground stations, making moving about easy.

It's also right cross the street from the Tower of London. This picture was taken 100 feet from the hotel entrance:



That's the Tower. It's really a midieval castle in the middle of London. I'm planning to take tomorrow to tour it.

I'm also just a 5 minute walk from the Tower Bridge over the Thames River:



Here's the river from the center of the bridge:



The hotel is incredibly high-tech. They have an iPad to control the lights, curtains, blinds, TV and the heating and AC. The internet is the best I've seen on the trip - fast and no password or anything. They serve food all day, so I don't have to hunt for a resaurant if I don't want to.

Wenesday, September 20, 2017 London, England So I had my second day out and, boy are my feet tired (again)! I spent the entire day – 7 hours in the British Museum, mostly on my feet, and probablyonly saw ¼ of it. The place is huge and full of stuff – and people. A bit about traveling around. I was advised to get an Oyster card and an app for the Underground (that's what they call their subway system here). The Oyster card is like a prepaid credit card that works in the main public transport systems here – Underground, trains and buses. For the Underground, you just put it against the turnstile on the way in and on the way out. You can top it up in any station at a ticket machine. It works great. I got an app for the phone that lets me put a starting and ending point in and it gives me the routes to take and which stations to change at. It's all very convenient. Now about the museum. It's huge! And crowded! Full of schoolkids and tou...

Another trip! When I got home from Africa last September, I realized that the trip had taught me how to do what I had always wanted to do - travel to Europe. So, there were decisions to make. The first was where. After a couple of months thought, I decided on England. I like history and they've got lots of it. Hopefully there wouldn't be much of a language problem. Next was when. After reading forums and travel sites, I decided on September. That's after the big tourist season of July and August and before the weather turns really rainy in November. The itinerary was next. After searching around, I found a bare bones one on Rick Steve's website. He has been writing travel guides for Europe for 30 years or more. His website had several for England, ranging from 1 to 3 weeks. I chose the 3 week one and , after a minor change, settled on this: Sept 2 – Leave Denver Sept 3 - Arrive in London – train to Bath Sept 4 – Explore Bath –...

September 4, 2017 Bath, England Still in Bath. Yesterday was rainy and chilly. Today is gray, but dry and a bit warmer. This morning I toured the Roman baths. Soon after the conquest of Britain by the Romans in the 60's AD, they built a temple and bath complex here. There is a natural hot spring that they built the temple for. Nearby, they channeled some of the water into a bath system. Much of the original Roman stonework is still here: The paving around the bath and the bases of the columns are original Roman works. You're allowed to walk on them even today. I was supposed to pick up the rental car today, but they had some difficulty, so it will be tomorrow. That's not really a problem as I didn't need it today. Instead, I toured the abbey cathedral. Construction started in around 1500. There are memorials and burials in it going back to 1608. I saw one marked 1687. After that, I went to see some of the larger ...
