July 4, 2018 - Visit to Madame Tussauds London

This morning we went to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London.

It was really interesting, not just wax statues, a ride into British history (literally a ride!), a 10 minute 4D Marvel movie and lots more!!

After seeing these famous people, we got on a little train to go on a journey into British history. It was really cool, the carriages turned so you could get good photos of the exhibits, lots of sounds and narration too!

Then we got to the Marvel exhibit

 And the Star Wars

Really cool place, would recommend it!!

July 3, 2018 - Excursion to Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge

Today we had an early start to go on a long day trip excursion.

We took a taxi to Victoria Coach Station to meet our tour group. After getting through the chaos at the station we boarded our double decker coach and headed out of London towards Windsor Castle.

Lines, lines and more lines for security screening, then we were in!

We chose to see the State Apartments, can’t show you any pics because they were not allowed. The inside was amazing, gold everywhere.....needless to say I want my own castle now!

It’s the oldest inhabited castle in the world and has 900 years of history.

Here are some photos from the outside

Below are some photos of the church where Harry and Meghan were married!





Then after a whirlwind visit to the castle we all headed off in the coach to the town of Bath. A really nice town, the architecture was stunning.

Below, “Bath” water :)

This was also a short stop then we continued to the small village of Lacock. We saw some places that were used in the filming of Harry Potter and then went to a classic pub for lunch.

After our pub lunch, we boarded the coach and headed to the monument of Stonehenge.

A two hour drive back to London, quick nap and we were back. 8.00 pm finish....phew! Big day but packed full of goodness!! 

July 2, 2018 - Excursion to Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour

Today we headed off to join a tour to Warner Brothers Studios for “The Making of Harry Potter” Tour.

Michael is a big fan  and has been looking forward to this day.

Our coach ride was about an hour and we arrived just before midday. We had a quick lunch and started the tour.

Here are some photos 

July 1, 2018 - London - Hop on Hop Off bus Day

What a day!

We boarded the hop on hop off bus in the morning and settled in for a tour around London.

While it was hot, it was ok up top in the open area.

We managed to see a bit until our bus had a mishap and he all had to get out and wait for another. This is where the day got hijacked, we got on another bus but had no chance of getting a seat up top where we were before so we were stuck down below where it was boiling hot and couldn’t see anything.

Anyway here are some of the photos we got....

We will have to try a different strategy with this bus later in the week.
