I made it to London after some transportation adventures in Parma. I think the Beardsley school is bigger than the Parma airport. I'm paying 1.50 pounds for 20 minutes on this internet, so not going to type up a lot right now.
I'm staying at Meininger hostel in London, which is in the Baden-Powell House. Baden-Powell was the guy who started Scouting. The Queen had this place built in the 1960s, and they have some exhibits, etc on scouts. Nice free breakfast too.
Did a free tour of London today. They used the tour to try and sell their other (pay) tours, but I didn't bite. The guy was quite good though.
I'm spending quid like crazy here. The exchange rate is horrible (1 pound = 2 dollars). A meal at McDonalds/Burger King is about 4-5 pounds with drink, fries, and burger.
Not much time left... I leave Monday morning from Stanstead airport at 6:50am. Stanstead is about an hour outside of London, so I'm definitely going to be up early. That was the only flight to Malmo, Sweden on the cheap RyanAir though. Malmo will be about another hour bus ride to Copenhagen...but it is much cheaper going this way. Most of the cheap airlines don't fly into Copenhagen airport.

Glad to hear you made it to London. Didn't know the exchange rate was so terrible. We got snow here last week again. Looked like winter, complete with a snow day from school. Take care. Happy Easter. Love MOM
Taking Karin back Sunday or Monday. Call the cell phone, not home on Mon. Mom
Good to hear that you are managing the rails and site-seeing.
You will be able to write an interesting book when you get back.
Happy Easter and enjoy the rest of your journey. Love, Gram & Gramps
Good to hear what you are doing. Tlaked to your Mom last night. Glad you are having fun and didn't bite on the extra tour!! :)
Just heard about the new bridge from Sweden to Denmark. A person had to take a ferry in the past when I was over there.
VERY cold here. London at 63 was WAY warmer than MN.
THANKS for the post! As always, very enjoyable!
Love you a ton! G & S
