Wed night - tube from canary wharf to westminster - amazing view of big ben and parliment as you come up from the tube station. long walk along the river past the Eye and back across the bridge to the ship and shovel pub near covent garden. strolled up piccadilly circus and ate dinner at a disco-tech type place (food was so-so.) strolled through hyde park and past buckingham palace by the light of a full moon. note to self - dont wear high heels all day while walking :)
up this morning (thurs) and went for a run along the thames - about 1.5 miles to the westminster area (big ben) and then turned around. checked out local grocery (tesco's and sainsbury) food will be an interesting adventure :) looking forward to my costco goods to arrive
back in the car and drove 1 hour to Stonehenge. amazing site. walked around the stones and learned a lot about the history and mystery of this well known wonder. audio tour was worth it. drove through Bath (unique city - would like to take a train back and spend more time) and arrived in cardiff after eating at a quaint local pub in the countryside along the way
marriott here is nice and welcoming. headed out now to have our first pint in wales. tomorrow we are planning on running through the park and castle grounds in the cetner of town, exploring a little bit and then heading to scotland
much love
