| | Re: 17th April SPIRIT OF EUROPE (3rd Feb 12 at 5:45am GMT) | | | Chloe! Yeah another person on our tour! A fb group sounds awesome!! I'll be in that for sure. Wow 2 years in the uk! Would be grateful if you could suggest some must do's for while I'm in the uk. I have ten days... It's all very exciting. I got worried for a minute, saw the 11 weeks and was like it can't be.. But yes 11 weeks until the tour but only 8 weeks and I'll be on a plane to Ireland!! Can't wait to meet all you guys!! | |

| | Re: 17th April SPIRIT OF EUROPE (9th Feb 12 at 4:21pm GMT) | | Ahhhh took me forever to find this discussion ! im a bit slow !!!
there is soooo much to do in London its ridiculous! Ill try name some of the things that I can think of and somethings to avoid to save your money !
Ive not gotten around to doing a FB group yet ... work is mental !
Things to do and see:
Camden Markets on a sunday (must do !) sunday is the day its buzzing ... makes the atmosphere so much better !
There is an art tour of some sort through East London ... not sure on the exact name but i can find out ... my friend did it last week before she flew back to Oz and said it was good ... a lot of street art type stuff
Imperial War museum is pretty cool
Check out your main touristy things like buckingham palace ... trafalgar sq etc etc ... all within walking distance ... embankment ... london eye ... another great thing to do is a hop on/ hop off bus tour ... big double decker red bus that has no roof...not sure how much it costs these days but it gives you a great outlook of where everything is situated and you just jump on the next bus that comes along and it takes you to the next major stop ... gives you like ... 24 hour valid ticket ... ERMMMM ...
Maddam Toussards is cool ... havent actually been myself ... i saw the one in Paris ... also cool !
sheesh ... I honestly dont know where to begin haha !!!
Victoria and Albert Musuem is worth a look
River Cruise on the thames
Im having a mental blank at the moment ... ill get back to you with more haha !
Try catching buses around places ... its cheaper and you see more rather than getting the tube ... you stand crammed with the rest of london and see nothing !
avoid:
Ripleys believe it or not
London Dungeons
Ive heard the Zoo isnt all that ... but I kinda figure you find a zoo anywhere!
All just a touristy thing that you end up wasting your money on ... tourist traps!
UMMM ... if you have any questions or anything guys just email me on cloz88@hotmail.com and ill try help ya as best as i can ! or add me on FB - Chloe Grantham ... ! Cheeeeeeeers ! | |

I have found keeping a travel diary is helping me remember what planning I need to do. I'm trying to do this on a budget lol. We are another week closer! 8 weeks until the tour starts. Which hopefully means only 2 weeks until we get documents. I can't wait to explore through the itinerary!! | |
