We started in London and did our best to comprehend the British Museum and National Gallery. We saw Les Miserables, which apparently has been playing in the same theater for over 10 years. London is cool, but we felt the real England was outside the city.
Then we rented a car and went touring castles. My favorite was Leeds Castle. At Leeds Castle, the center of the hedge maze is a turret so you can see where you've been and watch anyone coming in behind you. Then you go down into "the grotto" which is a manmade tunnel with a running stream and statues made of stones and seashells... including one huge looming face spouting water into a fountain.
Jet-lagged, sleep-deprived people should not try to tackle the Britism Museum as their first stop in London. I fell asleep in the cafeteria. |

Leeds Castle was very cool. It had a moat, and a hedge maze with an underground grotto! |
