now where did I leave off with the last post??? :-)
Ok still in London…
We took a ride on the Big Bus Tour for 2 days, I believe we purchased a ticket for 48 hours that was less than 120GBP . We thought it well worth it to get around London with a guide and to hop on and off the buses whenever and wherever we wanted to. The boys loved being on the double decker buses (except when it rained…it is London after all).
From the bus we saw Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden, Marble Arch, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and St Paul’s Cathedral and of course many other historical buildings…oh I mustn’t forget the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.
The boys wanted to go on the London Eye, we got a discount with the Big Bus ticket and lined up in an extremely long line but it didn’t take as long as we thought it would, luckily the Bus Tour provided us with rain ponchos. The view from the Eye was great and would’ve have been even better on a clear day.
I am not sure if I mentioned this in the last post but we often had breakfast at the train station before starting our day. Cumberland sausage on a muffin and coffee is 2GBP or you can get a Bacon and Egg sub and coffee from Subway for 2GBP also. Great way to start the day on a budget.
Next post will feature budgets for;
- flights to Florence from London
- accommodation in Italy
- food in Italy
- transport in Italy
Ciao for now…
