Charlotte and I were thinking of going to England on a trip. Instead she’s moving to San Francisco. I was starting to make a to-go list for our trip. Instead of archiving it on my computer, I’ll archive it on my web host… IE: you get to see it<\/p>\n
\nTodo in England
\nFeed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square<\/p>\n
eat treacle<\/p>\n
————————————————–
\nRick Steves says:<\/p>\n
Get an Ordinance Survey map. They list tiny details like Stone Circles (Steve had one in Dartmoor) They are pretty too.<\/p>\n
The best currency exchange rates can be found at banks and ATMs.<\/p>\n
There is a 1\/2 price “Day of Show” ticket booth at Lester Sq in London to see plays
\nCall the theater and buy tix to avoid ticket fees<\/p>\n
In country pubs, sometimes tip, sometimes don’t<\/p>\n
Drink Ale or Bitters, not carbonated American lagers<\/p>\n
Consider seeing the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head. It’s more rural than the famous cliffs of Dover<\/p>\n
eat cornish pasties – the original portable food that tin miners used to eat<\/p>\n
Dartmoor – “nature in your face”<\/p>\n
Avesbury
\nStonehenge
\nGlastonbury abbey ruins (fiona\/SB)
\nBath is supposed to be great(stay outside of bath)<\/p>\n
A day spent driving in the cotswolds over to Glastonbury is nice (can’t remember what Fiz said about that)<\/p>\n
The drive between Bath and Dorchester is supposed to be lovely<\/p>\n
See the chalk horse and the giant chalk man with the penis and cane. (In Cernes?)<\/p>\n
Susan says that Devon is gorgeous and there is a nice drive along the coast\/moors…I think it was glastonbury to the North coast to Linmut (?sp)<\/p>\n
Snowdonia Park is supposed to be fabulous<\/p>\n
B&Bs run about 20-25 pounds per night less if the room has no private bath. Stillwells.com online has great service for finding B&Bs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
