Travel Tuesdays - London

Paul and I are headed off on vacation next week - our first real vacation together since March 2019. We have a cottage booked for a week and we're looking forward to relaxing by the lake.

I thought I'd include shots from our LAST vacation in this week's Travel Tuesdays post.

Travel Tuesdays - London

What a difference time makes.

Two years ago Paul and I had arrived in London and we were exploring one of the most fascinating cities in the world without a care . . .

It is hard to believe that it has been two years since our last real trip. For some reason Paul and I were talking this morning about our trip to London in March 2019. I had been planning on featuring some pics from that trip for Travel Tuesday a bit later in the month but this conversation has me yearning for those pre-COVID travel adventures.

We rented an apartment (or should I say a flat) in the Whitechapel/Spitalfields area. The day we arrived we just explored the neighbourhood. With the exception of Nelson's monument which we drove past on the way in from the airport, these shots are primarily taken along Commercial street - a former stopping ground of Jack the Ripper.

After a bit of exploring and stocking up on necessities for the flat (and a recuperating nap!) we went out for dinner at a Greek restaurant around the corner from the apartment building. The Hungry Donkey was just the welcome we needed to London!

Travel Tuesdays - London

A fried is in London right now and has been posting pictures of the neighborhood where she is staying. We stayed in Spitalfields when we were there in March. Here are some shots from our wandering around the neighbourhood.
