This is a continuation of our recent European cruise.
Our ship stopped at Plymouth, a port city in Devon, South West England. M's sisters had chosen to do the Stonehenge tour.

Husband M and I, daughter L and her husband would go to London as we had never been there, maybe just a stopover at Heathrow airport over the years. Son K decided to stay on the ship that day and enjoy the facilities. He enjoyed all the action at the Plymouth port, lots of car deliveries and such.
The bus driver maneuvered us through busy London. We stopped at Big Ben and did a walkabout. We drove by Harrods, passed the London Eye, eventually stopping at Covent Garden. There we went to a delicious fish and chip Tavern, of course we had to. I was concerned about the sign I saw in the washroom, it said 'thieves operate in this area'.
For some reason, I thought Big Ben and the London Eye would be bigger. Maybe things are on a different scale in North America.

I'm so glad you made that trip!
beautiful stonehenge...
enjoy the trip Christine. I like fish and chips so much...
This is a wonderful journal you are keeping
You had a great day!
Sounds like a fantastic day in London!
I get what you mean about Big Ben and the London Eye—they look bigger in photos
Love the photos you shared, Christine.
Was fish and chips there better?
Oh, it looks like it was a busy and fun trip! Awesome travels!
Wow, great views on your trip to London. Such a great time. And the food looks amazing too! Hope you are resting up since the cruise.
It looks like you had a super day. I would find it hard to pick whether to go to Stonehenge, as I've never been there, or back to London.
You've crossed off a lot of iconic items that were probably on your bucket list.
I do love fish and chips, and your photos of your London tour are amazing, Christine. With regard to the sign about thieves, I guess there are bad folks everywhere. Glad they had the warning up. Blessings!
How fun!
Been to London a few times now. 2017 was my first. I do remember there being a lot of signs like that too and thought jeez oh! I did like London and thought it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be despite the huge population. I took lots of photos of the street signs too!
Angie, Husband M thought so. The fish is not seasoned so you have to add your own salt, pepper, vinegar. It was very crispy and good.
Que legal sua viagem! Eu já fui em Londres e valeu demais, o Big Ben estava em reforma, acredita? Mas tirei foto assim mesmo.E subimos na roda gigante. Beijos!
Siempre he querido conocer Inglaterra., Te mando un beso.
Looks and sounds a great day in London :)
All the best Jan
All very cool spots. I lament that I will probably never get the opportunity to visit England.
Wonderful! I can see you got around to see a lot of great places.
A great post, Christine.
London is such an amazing place. We did love London and Stonehenge.
It looks like you hit all the Highlights of London, while avoiding the Thieves!
I would want to visit both Stonehenge and London. Looks like you hit all the highlights of London at least.
