Just a few shots....

Just havin a pint in Brussels with my host. The sun finally decided to pop out and show its face.

The streets are full of fantastic comic art! Theres a great tourist map that shows  you the way around town so you can see it all. 

View from the Tate Modern museum in London. 

Piece of work by Salvador Dali

The London Eye by night! This is while I was out touring the city with a guy I met from New Zealand. It was nice to meet up with a friend and explore.

Out for an afternoon tea with my friends from Leamington Spa. We took a nice hike to the neighbouring town Warick.

Visiting Shakespeare's house in Stratford Upon Avon. Warning - do not visit this town alone. It is BORING 

Taking a free walking tour in York - theres a great wall that encircles the city. The bottom half is Roman and the top part is Gothic.  The little rectangle things are tombs. Charming!

The wall and the Moat!! Super cool

Mmmmmm my host Rob cooked me a great traditional English supper - Beef  wellington with steamed vegetables, roasted potatos and little yorkshire puddings. Mmmmmmm

The lovely little river Ouse which flows through the city

The York Minster. Stunning cathedral

Stained glass from the inside.

That about sums it up! Its been so nice being back in the UK. Everyone speaks english. AMAZING. Im currently back in Blackpool visiting with some friends.Tomorrow I plan to head to Edinburgh, but because of the Festival going on, its pretty hard to find accommodation. Wish me luck!
