This takes me back to my youth.  My brother and I used to do this, endlessly, to the consternation of our mother.  Vacations wouldn’t have been the same without this competitive distraction.

Nothing better than a Saturday morning, slightly chilly, personally guided driving tour through the boroughs of London in this beautifully restored Morris Minor 1000.  For a moment there was a brief threat of drizzle, but it passed and the sun broke through.  We stopped to park in Chinatown for a pastry, but had to hurry […]

Just passing through on the double-decker.  I really haven’t seen this many people out in the streets in a long, long time.  Makes us feel like we have been living in a secluded little hamlet the last five years.

Outside the Victoria and Albert Museum.  We have never seen a museum so full of people.  One could hardly move about.  Is it always this crowded on a Sunday?

Yes, of course!  Really!

London! the walking tour edition.  Only here for a long weekend so, like everyone else, we packed as much as possible in to our short stay.  One of the greatest finds was stumbling across a Whole Foods Market.  We sure do miss that store.  Any chance of one opening up in Switzerland?
