London

Coming up on our 3-year tour mark, we've decided to head home. The choice has been difficult, but overall we are pleased with our decision and think it is the right one.
Given we are leaving toward the end of March, we wanted to maximize all remaining holidays, so just flew Easy Jet - Naples to Stansted - over President's Day Weekend. We flew out Friday after work and got into Stansted very late - about 10:45 PM!! After the 90 min bus and taxi were at our hotel just before 2 AM!!! But the flights were cheap and direct - 2.7 hours!
Here's the highlights:
*Sat - Portobello Rd & Hemleys
*Sun - on-off boat down the River Thames stopping
*Mon - Convenant Garden & National Gallery
*Tues - Natural History Museum, Hyde Park & Colin
*Mon - British Museum and home
Of course each day we managed to find a typical British pub to have chips and a pint! Morgan really enjoyed it. I think for her the highlights had to be the transportation - the boat, tube, and double decker buses, plus great playgrounds.
