So where am I going I hear you ask? Um well.. I think you know where!!!
Yes that's right London
I have been wanting to go back to London since I visit 2 1/2 years ago and have planned many trips that I haven't taken! So I thought it was about time I went back... I would also like to go to Edinburgh and York but I will have to see how my finances hold out. I would definitely like to do York because of my idea for the trip...
Dad's birthday is 1st May and I always like to do something on that day as something special. In the past I have been to the Brisbane Maritime Museum, Newstead House and this year I had a delayed day when I went on the Weka Pass Railway when I was home mid May. So next year I am thinking of doing something extra special.. and that is to be in Greenwich on the 1st May. That is a definite but other than that I have about 2 weeks to fill in.
I would like to go to York because when I was little Dad use to sing "The Grand Old Duke of York" whilst bouncing me on his knee. Ever since I was that little girl, I have always wanted to go to York. It wasn't until years later that I found out about York Minster and it cemented my resolve to go there.
I am so excited to go back to London tho.. I think people get sick of me going on about how much I loved it... haha. I will be staying in a completely different part of the city - Whitechapel, about 5-10 minutes walk from the Tower of London! The only issue is that I have been watching the English show Whitechapel - about many historic murders from that area that have been recreated. Of course there is the infamous Jack the Ripper murders so yes... I feel completely safe!!! I am looking forwarded to staying in a different part of the city and exploring something new.
Let the countdown begin.... 318 sleeps!
