Got back home Saturday morning from the UK
10 reflective thoughts
1. How naive of me to think going in winter there wouldn’t be many tourists. Summer would be unimaginable
2. I’m tempted to buy a trench coat now even though I have no use for one. Quite fashionable
3. No data on the underground? Not sure how people survive. Transport was very easy to use though
4. No photos at various tourist attractions is annoying and a rule I may have broken
5. Seeing Man Utd and getting a tour at OT was awesome. Especially seeing a late winner after thinking we’d blown it
6. Liverpool and Manchester both came to life when football games were on
7. York has a great confectionery shop and the neat Harry Potter street, plus the Viking tour was interesting
8. Edinburgh castle looks great lit up at night, a late night climb up a hill was well worth it
9. Met so many people during my trip including other tourists, Aussies living over here and even bumped into an ex England cricket captain
10. I have no idea how to sleep well on long flights, but my first overseas solo travel experience was wonderful
