Tipsy Spring Chicken Jumps Over The Wall

So we have now left London, and are kind of glad for it. It is entirely way too populated. So today our adventures lead us to Dover, where we took a boat cruise to see the famous white cliffs and then just lay on the rocky beach and waded in the English Channel. Then it was off to Canterbury to find the next hostel, which nice and clean and housey (cari's word). We left in search of fish and chips at a pub, and after many wrong turns, ended up at the most exciting part of our day: Kudo's Chinese Restaurant. WE were drawn in by the menu item that has become the title for this blog post (no, we did not order it). Once inside were amazed at the unique decor (pink suede bar stools with butterflies and prisms on the wall), and the waitresses hats. The food was delicious and very prompt arrviving (Lauren had duck salad, OM NOM NOM!). The bathrooms also did not disappoint, as upon entering the UNISEX toilets, one is confronted with the choice of entering a stall for men, women or post modern equal oppurtunity gay or lesbians. Cari was adventurous and chose the last option. then it was off to play cards and go to bed, as canterbury is just waiting to be explored in the morning!

Cheers.
Tim.

Last Day in London

So today was another very busy day for me and the girls! We started the day by heading off to Westminster Abbey, where many very old very famous dead people are buried. We saw the tombs of Chaucer, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth I, and many others. But the highlight of the Abby came upon the girls when they discovered the Abbey housed........Britain's oldest door!! It was truely quite exciting. Then they took a boat tour down the Thames that docked in Greenwich Village. There they explored the Old Royal Navy College (and almost crashed a wedding), the Royal Maritime Museum, and the Royal Observatroy, where they did not get to straddle the Prime Meridian (officially that is, we found an unofficial spot further down the path that did not cost 10 £). After a hasty dinner, the girls went to see the muscial Wicked in the West End.  And they have to say, it truely was wicked! Tomorrow they are off to Canterbury and Dover, and will then head off to Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Bath.

Cheers!
Tim.

Royals, Rippers and Robert Pattinson



Day 2 and the girls were much more rested which made the day much more enjoyable. I have found a cozy spot in Cari's daypack to sleep and so only emerged for one short photo op outside the tower. The girls started the day bright and early by heading to Madame Tussauds where they enjoyed hanging with celebs and getting scared by things that jump out in the night! After a picnic lunch in Green Park Cari, Lauren, and Emma went on a free walking tour of many of London's more famous spots such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and Wellington Arch. Then it was off to find some early dinner before joining another walking tour of the horrors of Whitechapel and the Tower of London. They arrived back at the hostel tired, but surprisingly without sore feet! The rest of the evening holds some card games and journaling before bed so that they can have another early start tomorrow to enjoy their last day in London.
Cheers,
Tim

We're Here

Hello all.

Well we have all made it here to England in one piece and with all our luggage! We zombie-walked our way through the Sherlock Holmes Museum, The V&A Museum, and rode around a lot on the subway. Our hostel is very clean and nice, and our room is conveniently located right across from the showers, which made the girls feel slightly more human :p.
For the rest of our two days here in London, we plan to visit the wax museum, Westminister Abbey, Greenwich Village, and see a West End Show (their version of broadway).

We are all very tired, so we will sign off now.

Cheers!

Tim and the girls :)
