A London tour.

Hello & Happy Sunday to you!! We are more than half way done with July, only eleven days left, how was it been treating you? Lol, I'm in a good mood today & I will continue writing about our recent trip to London! I feel that even though the Harry Potter tour was better, I will post this one first since it happened first.  The New London tour lasted a little close to 3 hours and started at Covent garden. Our group was awesome, but I don't know if it was because our guide, Steph, made us introduce ourselves to someone on the tour we didn't know (we were all talking with each other instead of the usual mind your own and walk) or because everyone was around my age (haha, not really, a little younger) but still it felt nice. Godzillaa!!!!

A day trip to Alnwick

I wrote about our recent stay in Edinburgh for the #SundayTraveler link up this past sunday. Today I am linking up with Travel Tuesday and writing about Alnwick. We stayed in Edinburgh for two days, one of which we took a day trip via National Express busses to Alnwick, a city in England, around 2.5 hours away from Edinburgh and home to Alnwick castle. This castle is considered one of the great border castles of Scotland, and is the second largest inhabited castle in Great Britain (second only to Windsor Castle). It is home to the powerful Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland. It is made up of two rings of buildings with a large bailey surrounding the inner ring. The castle also houses a very fine art collection, considered one of the best in the UK    and was featured in the Harry Potter movies as the setting of Hogwarts.
