And Traveling the World
Summer came early to London this year. There was fantastic weather in April and early May. Things have gone downhill a bit since then, though. In fact, it’s hard to remember a day in the past few weeks that hasn’t brought a few downpours. As such, it was with a bit of trepidation that I went for a Kew Gardens day out last weekend.
Last week I wrote about a hidden gem in London. But the UK capital isn’t the only place in Britain with great new places to discover. On Wednesday I traveled by train up to Cumbria to a place called the Eden Valley in England.
There aren’t many hidden gems in London. News about new places spreads so quickly that it’s difficult to come up with something most Londoners don’t know about. But then someone told me about Teanamu Teahouse in Shepherd’s Bush.
Iceland’s rugged natural scenery and geothermal mysteries are what attract most visitors. Reykjavik is often overlooked as a destination, serving merely as an arrival and departure point for travel to far-flung glaciers, geysers, and other gems. But the capital city deserves a visit in its own right, and I intended to spend 2 days in Reykjavik on my trip to Iceland.
