Wink Thanks UK

I've just returned to Australia after spending 5 wonderful weeks in Europe with my family (husband, son, 2 daughters, 1 son-in-law).

We tracked around Italy, Monaco, Switzerland and Paris by train before hopping on the Eurostar to London. This was our first visit to the UK. After 3 fantastic days seeing all the sights my husband and I farewelled the family back to Oz while we flew up to Edinburgh. We spent a great week in a hire car tootling back to London.

We found everyone so helpful, polite and generous. We stayed in smaller towns rather than cities. We can recommend The Ship Inn in Aldborough in Yorkshire. Because we were Aussies the owner gave my husband a Wallabies Rugby jumper that he had been given. We were most impressed with his kindness.

Our only difficulty was finding the right exit from the thousands of roundabouts we drove around. Boy you Brits like roundabouts! And the roads are so narrow!

We look forward to coming back.
