Last Year at this time...weeks 2&3

Days 9 - 11: Bruges, Belgium Relaxing, beautiful. One of our favorite places. We walked around town, took a boat canal ride, went on a 4 hour bike tour outside the city limits. Watched the chocolate demonstation, and learned how diamonds are made (no wonder they are so expensive!) It was a lovely and quaint town w/enough to do for days.Day 12: St. Andrews, Scottland Spencer fulfilled one of his dreams...playing at the coveted St. Andrews golf course. It was cold and windy, but he was able to pull out an 86. Day 13: Edinburgh, Scottland We rented a car here, kinda scary! We toured Edinburgh Castle, and that was enough of this busy town.Days 14 - 21: England Wow, we did a lot here in England. We met up w/our friends and awesome tourguides Josh & Hayley. Thank you a million. First we drove through the Lake District. Did a few little hikes, it was beautiful and perfect weather, then made our way to meet Josh.We visited the birthplace of Shakespeare.
In London, saw Platform 9 3/4. (we love Potter)
London, England. We took a Duck Tour (amphibious DUKWs) and saw WICKED. So great. Acting, singing & story was very entertaining. Meet Josh, Hayley and Chester. They took us to have some relaxing afternoons at the park. Also driving around we saw these Rape Fields, they were in bloom when we were there, lemon yellow, beautiful fields.While in London we visited the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge (LF) We really enjoyed this tour.
Also went to Nottingham, city of Robin Hood (ate delish Indian food) and parted w/Josh & Hayley at the University of Oxford (RT)To end our trip we went to the London Temple. The grounds were amazing and it was the perfect end of our 3 week journey. We learned a lot, had priceless experiences, and are ready for another big journey...
