We left Yorkshire district, (SHOUT OUT TO JEMMA'S MUM!) We were staying in Wetherby, which looks to be halfway between Leeds and York, and it was about a 4 hour journey down to Heathrow. The roads in England are superb and beautiful, no potholes :)
On our way down we passed Nottingham, which is known for the Robin Hood stories. Mostly the drive was green and filled with sheep and cows. Other than that, not much around.
After we arrived at Heathrow, we took a bus to Reading (pronounced REDing) and got a little hotel right off the bus since we were just wingin' it for the next couple of days. It's a big/small town, meaning there isn't much to do, but there is a giant mall area thing called the Oracle. Amazingly enough there's a million shops and restaurants to choose from which is fabulous. Rich thinks otherwise and that it isn't exciting. Whatever. For dinner we actually went to Jamie Oliver's Italian Restaurant for dinner. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. Not a lot of people can say that ;) heheee.
Today, we slept in, FINALLY. After a little roamin' in Marks and Spencer for breakfast, we went to the cinema to see X-MEN First Class. Now that was a good movie, even in England! After the movie, we went to this southern restaurant for dinner and with our movie ticket the meal was basically half off, supaaa! And the food was really good, everything is better in England. Although the butter was better in Scotland, sorry guys.
Tomorrow we're finally DONE staying in hotels and Rich and his parentals are nice enough to let us stay for a couple nights before sendin grammy off to the states. Gotta say, this lil adventure has been rough, yet awesome. I can't wait until school starts, then the stories really start flowin'! :)
