Last of England – Day 5
Our fifth day in England was very relaxing and after running around the previous few days it was exactly what we needed. We did however take a ride into St. Albans to see ‘Ye Olde Fighting Cocks’ , a pub which claims to be the oldest pub in England. Dating back to the 8th century,…
England Day 4 – Oxford
Oxford is most known for its medieval university and stunning architecture. We also got to know it as a very happening place with tourists all around, hundreds of bicycles chained to anything and everything, and very expensive car parking. It is of course a very beautiful city featuring every British architectural period since the arrival…
England Day 3.5 – City of Bath
After Stonehenge we drove to the city of Bath. Located 100 miles west of London, Bath was established by the Romans in AD 43 with a Latin name “Aquae Sulis” meaning the waters of Sulis. Edgar of England was crowned king of England in Bath Abbey in 973, it’s that incredible looking cathedral on the…
England Day 3 – Stonehenge
Believed to have been erected around 2,500 B.C. Stonehenge is a must see for anyone visiting England. Yes it is just a bunch of rocks piled in a circle, and sure it’s in the middle of nowhere and traffic getting there can be a pain, but seeing it in person is really breathtaking and I’m…

It is the largest inhabited castle in the world and longest-occupied castle in Europe. Security is tight as the queen and the royal family regularly visit the castle. We…
London Pride With Fish & Chips
Fish and chips has been England’s favorite takeaway dish since the late Victorian era. So it was without question a dish we had to have at least once while visiting the Queen. The Horniman at Hay’s was our pub of choice located on the riverbank very close to the Tower Bridge. It was quite nice…
England Day 1 – London
4am wake up time, 5am drive to the airport, 6:30am flight with arrival in London Luton at 9 in the morning. That was just the beginning. Jo and Hamish were our hosts for the five days we spent in England. Jo is Karolina’s high school friend and if it wasn’t for Jo and her other…
Long Live The Queen!
Tomorrow Karolina and I are flying over to Great Britain to visit our friends Joanna and Hamish in Watford, England located some 20 miles north west of London. With the exception of a brief layover at Heathrow airport I’ve never been to England and neither has Karolina. This is shaping up to be a great…
