Always wanted to.........
 

We have just come back from a visit from a short visit to London, we stayed in a lovely hotel in Kensington (really reasonably priced) and one of the things we have always wanted to do (and had not done on previous visits to London) was visit the Albert & Victoria Museum and take a walk around Hyde Park, well we did both last week and it was just lovely to do both, we have been lucky to visit a lot of Major Cities both here and overseas and have enjoyed doing so but London, its Gem of a City and in a way we have taken it for granted but will definitely visit again....just wondered about anyone else's "Always wanted to.." oh and nothing rude please lol...

Visit Skara Brae and see the rest of Orkney

Return to Iona

Walk in the Yorkshire Dales

Re: Always wanted to.........
 

Visit Norway, Denmark, Sweden & other parts of Northern Europe I can't think of right now, with our departure point being in the UK. By that I mean I would like to be living in Britain by then. I'm planning that for the future.

Visit the North York moors.

I'd love to visit London and return to visit our old haunts. See a west end show, just feel the atmosphere of the hustle and bustle. See more than four cars queuing at the traffic lights, that's considered heavy traffic in this town !

We went down for along weekend and stayed in Bishopsgate and were amazed how cleaned up the city was. Totally better than expected and far cleaner than the midland cities we were used to. Only downside about where we stayed was all the shops shut Saturday and Sunday as the offices were all empty as everyone had commuted home.;)

Another place I have always wanted to visit is Pompeii ......since High School.....a looooooooong time ago lol and visit the Lake District when its not raining:) just a lottery win and I am sure I can make a list, a very long list of things to do!!!!!!

Re: Always wanted to.........
 

Pompeii is a big big let down visit the other one Herculaneum....the Lake district is there because of the rain and far too full....;) We travelled Europe by train and since the Euro took over so has uniformity......shame!:thumbdown: Just bloody expensive........couldn't afford the beer....:eek:

Re: Always wanted to.........
 

I second Stormers point on Herculaneum versus Pompeii, I went there 2 weeks ago, it was absoulutely fantastic, whilst Pompeii is crumbling these days.

Moreover, don't forget there is also extensive excavations at Ostia Antica (near Rome), which again is in much better condition than Pompeii.

Learn to scuba dive. Don't know whats holding me back.

Re: Always wanted to.........
 

Red Square. There was definitely something about just standing there. The Guard change is a must. Assuming they still do it.:unsure:

Eiffel Tower, sitting in Parisian Cafes, seeing the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo :)

Old Wembley Stadium - loved it.:)

The noise of Cairo - like an explosion opening your hotel balcony door. The Pyramids - magical.

Niagara Falls - like being on the edge of the world.

Grand Canyon - not done that one.

Disappointments: Canal trip in Amsterdam - "on your left you can see a warehouse, look to yur right and you see a warehouse" :lol:

The Sphinx - encased in wooden scaffolding:(

Yorkshire is just lovely especially The Ridings and has a wonderful Coastline....We got married in Scotland (Gretna Green) and toured the Scottish west coast afterwards, Gairlock has a wonderful beach....and the weather was glorious...since we have been back in the UK we visited Glasgow and Edinburgh......South Devon, Norfolk and London...just short breaks and its been lovely to see your own country

Re: Always wanted to.........
 

The Valley of the Kings was a bit of a let down and Luxor was an eye opener but would not of missed it for anything....
