No More Jet Lag

Well, we're back, over our jet lag, kidlets are back in school, and I can finally get onto the computer. I won't bore you with a blow by blow account of the trip. Here is the short version:

• Madame Tussaud's is overpriced (and Michael Caine is not glamorous)
• We spent 6 hours at the Tower of London and still missed a lot
• Bus tours of London last for 2.5 hours because of traffic
• Windsor Castle is fabulous, but even if QEII is in, she won't invite you to tea.
• Hampton Court Palace is wonderful when it is empty--and you can even stay there!
• It's good to be Queen
