Europe

My first trip to Europe was to the United Kingdom. I mostly went because my mother had always wanted to go, and she didn’t want to go alone. That being said, I am really glad that I went, as the UK had a lot to offer.

Our first stop was London. We saw the main sights: Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. We visited them via a hop-on, hop-off bus.

We took a tour of Bath and Stonehenge. Both places were quite interesting.

We took the train to Oxford. Then we rode around in a hop-on, hop-off bus. I had a busy day, reading a C.S. Lewis book at Magdalen College, eating a mysterious treat from Alice’s Shop, stopping by The Eagle and Child for a drink, and attending Evensong at the Christ Church Cathedral.

We took a day trip to Kent to visit some friends, and while in the area, we took a drive out to Chartwell, which was the home of Winston Churchill. There were some beautiful views of the English countryside.

After mostly exploring on our own for a week, my mom and I decided to take a tour around the UK. We went on a week-long trip starting and ending in London, stopping at several places along the way, including Windsor, Bath, Llangollen, Liverpool, the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh, York, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

While we were in the UK, my mom and I got to see some cool things, such as the King’s Guard, a man playing the bagpipes, and red telephone booths.

I was also able to stand on Hadrian’s Wall, ride in a chain ferry, and have afternoon tea. It was a truly wonderful holiday.
