Today was a later start for us. Meredith and Dawn went to water aerobics at 10am, but I decided to pass. Instead I decided to do a little reading on Italy, to start planning for Florence. Last night we planned pretty much all of Paris, and it looks like we will be talking two day trips outside of Paris to Versailles and Giverney/Vernon. We decided we better make the best use of our Global Rail Pass. We also have changed the dates of Venice and Vienna around a ...

So today was our first day of true London weather.... which is rain, rain and clouds. But it worked out okay. Dawn woke us up at around 9am, and we got ready to head off to Camden Market. The market was really original. Walking in, it is mainly punk stores all advertising for tattoos and piercings, but when you get to the booths it isn't like that at all. The rain was a little annoying, but we pulled up our hoods and braved it. There were honestly hundreds o...

Started this morning off feeling extra tired. I set my alarm for 8:30am (which is 3:30 am our time zone).

After showering, I woke up Meredith and we got ready to head out to London :) Initially we were going to go to the market before heading into the city, but we still don't know our way around Da...

It feels so good to lay down! We got to London safely and with the help of Dawn's directions bought our zone pass and then made our way to the Underground. We took the circle line to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge to do a little sightseeing. Meredith and I strolled around and took some pictures, but bottom line we were exhausted and tired from all the traveling. So we split a piece of pizza from a little stand (which was delicious) and sat down. There...

Well Meredith and I made it safe and sound. It was definitely a little adventure this morning. But overall everything went smoothly. We left Detroit this morning at 2:30pm and had a quick flight to Washington D.C. Then we had just enough time to grab some Subway and board our plane to Brussels. The plane ride was actually really nice too, and the food wasn't half bad, which is shocking. Meredith and I watched its complicated on the way there... At first I thought...
