Olympics

I hope you get it, girl!

Hoping you get to travel and if you do arrive in London do take in the many sites that are there. There are far too many to mention here so you had better do your homework to take in the ones you would like to see. Best of luck.

Yes celticeagle London is very busy even the rate at which people walk so is not ideal to visit in Olympic times unless you just want to attend the sport. Right by Buckingham palace there are large parklands ( Hyde Park ) and on one corner people are allowed to exercise their free speech, they stand on their soap boxes and talk about any subject they wish. Museums abound along with theatres but if you were to move to east of London it would be possible to visit the site of the Battle of Hastings 1066 which is surrounded by country side. Travel to the South and visit Brighton pavilion built for King George IV as a bachelor pad, a really fantastic building decorated in a Chinese design by people who had never been to china. Whoops I have really drifted off subject.

No, that is very interesting. I would love to see it some day.

Now I don't know if your humouring me or not. Did you really find that interesting because if you did I will try to post some pics when I reach the magic 500.

AmbiePam lets hope as you say we will have an idiot free Olympics. I just hope that the debt that other countries seem to get lumbered with after the Olympics wont affect us too much. Nice to get your attention on this occasion.

I'm with you leeloo only those who win a medal are celebrated and the rest have worked just as hard.

Well done Torunn hope you have a nice trip from Trondheim. Have you been to England before or is this your first time and what method of travel are you using. I certainly hope we have some nice weather for all the events, lovely that you have friends to stay with. It would be nice if you could extend your stay and see some of the places of interest in London as there are many.

That's such a shame that you would dearly love to go to the Olympics. For someone such as yourself I wish there was some way to get you there. Still I suppose we are lucky these days that we can watch from afar.

If the weather was better there is no place like Britain, but there that can be said for so many other countries. I think that each country has it's special thing and with Britain it is the mix of countryside with hills and trees and towns with many green spaces.

There is no doubt that the delays that will be caused in London will be of outrageous proportions. Glad you enjoyed hearing of my granddaughter but it also brings home how much the athletes have to train and for some they will never attain the medal they try so hard for.

I do like the winter Olympics best. I don't have the funds or inclination to want to visit London at the best of times and certainly wouldn't visit at such a busy time. There are plenty of things to visit in London and the museums of which there are many are free. The Natural history museum with it's prehistoric animal bones is a real winner.

It's a shame lamps that all the British people that wanted to attend could not get tickets. The weather for the Olympics will be the best that Britain can offer at that time of year and probably we can guarantee that it won't snow. Other than that anything could fall.

I know the atmosphere won't be the same but you won't have to suffer the crowds when you watch on big screen TV and you will probably get a better view.
