A friend went to live and work in London for six months, and offered to let me stay with him for a few weeks. Since hotels are expensive, I jumped on the offer!
I wandered around London, took day trips to Salisbury, York, Nottingham, Cambridge, and a longer weekend trip to Edinburgh. My pictures of Edinburgh castle didn't turn out well enough to do it justice, sadly.

Buckingham Palace.

Parliment and the Clock Tower (Big Ben).

Tower Bridge. Often mistaken as London Bridge!

Salisbury Cathedral, which houses one of the surviving (and very legible) copies of the Magna Carta.

Here I am at Stonehenge.

Scottish Highlands.

Taking a cruise on Loch Ness... no monster sightings to report!
