Finally I'm posting! Celia here. What a busy and tiring week we've had. Daniel had updated you up until Friday so I'll tell you about our weekend.
Yesterday we went to the portobello road market which has a lot of antiques and amazing vintage clothing. We didn't buy anything other than food however as it was quite pricey. In the evening we met up with two of Daniels old colleagues from when he lived in London for drinks.
Today we are on a coach tour from London to Bath and Stonehenge. We just saw the Roman baths and accompanying museum and tasted some of the water. It wasn't that tasty but apparently good for you, I guess it has a lot of minerals from beneath the earth. We're currently on the bus to Stonehenge so I thought I'd type this all out now and post it once I'm back to an Internet connection.
We've had a great time in London. We have missed out on a couple of things she to time constraints that we originally planned on seeing; Harrods, selfridges and the natural history museum and national gallery but we have seen an awful lot considering.
As Daniel mentioned in the last post we spent a good few hours at Kew. We were lucky that spring has sprung a little later than usual over here (about 4 weeks late apparently) due to he cold weather so we have been right on time for blossom trees, magnolias, bluebells and daffodils. It's also been sunny every day except for Saturday morning when we had a tiny bit of drizzle that turned into sun in the afternoon.
The Victoria and Albert museum was also amazing. It's an art and design museum and we enjoyed the furniture, fashion, mosaics and architecture the most.
I have conquered a lot of difficult situations in London I think. I took the elevator up to the top of the new tree top walk at Kew, but I didn't walk around like Daniel did! The walkway is see through! I've also been on the tube countless times including shoulder to shoulder peak times. And today when we went on it there was a message asking for all passengers to evacuate the station. That was scary but I'm glad I didn't start freaking out and break into a run! Daniel thinks it could've been someone pulling the fire drill.
Right I think that's about it for now. We are off to Amsterdam tomorrow morning. Later I will try to post some photos and also maybe post a bit more about Copenhagen.
