Went to visit my sister in London for a couple of weeks.
It was a pretty last minute decision, based on MAS suddenly lowering their airfares for the Easter season. So barely 10 days before the flight, I booked my tickets, and with narry a plan, I was off!
Arriving in London smack at the start of their Easter break with NOTHING planned was FUN but stupid. FUN cause it meant that my sister and London based friends had time to spare and took me around and fed me. STUPID cause everything was fully booked!
So hung around London a lot this trip, which I am not complaining about. I love the museums and galleries there..... It still astounds me that the original works by michaelangelo, raphael and leonardo (no, not the ninja turtles) are there, on display at their museums, and I get to oggle at these masterpieces for as long as i want... for FREE!
Made several really really enjoyable day trips to Brighton, Windsor, Kent and an unbelievable day trip to Paris too.
Oh, and a long and lazy weekend in Scotland! That was lovely :D
Extended my stay a bit cause I HAD to. Icelandic volcanic ash over the airways closed all UK airports for 6 days, and my flight home was at the very days of airport closure. Flight got cancelled twice. But that simply means more musuems, more days in the park, and more musicals :D
So, museums, musicals, pub food, puddings and many kgs added on later, I am home.
And as much as I loved my trip to London, I must say, it's good to be home :D
