We leave London and prepare to leave England by boat over the English Channel. Here we see Dover Castle as we pass by in our tour bus and the famous White Cliffs of Dover from aboard our ferry.
We next toured London itself; some by a guided tour and some by ourselves. If you have never been to London taking a “City Tour” is a great way to get a lay of the land then don’t be afraid to then set out on your own to see sites in detail. Lot’s and lot’s of great buildings line the streets. Here and there are Statues / Monuments that might surprise you when you read the plaques on who they are!
St. Margaret’s
and
Westminster Abbey
Founder
of the
Boy Scout
Movement
Our next major stop is Bath, England. Did you know that the Roman’s had one of their finest hot baths here in England? The Abby here has been ruined several times at yet another one gets built bigger then the one before. Talk about crop circles, here you find folks that have made Horse’s in the chalk! After that we visited a very old heritage site, bet you know which one…

We begin our version of European Vacation as we return to England, this time to actually tour the area, and then assault mainland Europe.
In Part I of England (2004) we begin by getting settled into our hotel and get our feet wet with the “Tube” as we learn how to move about London.
