It was our first flight with Ryanair and it was at 6am. We decided to drive out near Frankfurt Hahn and spend the night in a hotel that had free parking and shuttle service to the airport. We stayed at Zur Morschbach and it had a delicious restuarant attached where we had dinner. The hotel also had breakfast (8euro extra) which we enjoyed before heading on the shuttle at 4:30am. The shuttle took us to Frankfurt Hahn in about 10-15 minutes. We had more than enough time to check our bag and get to our gate. Rand did great on the flight! He slept the whole time :)
We arrived in London Stansted around 7am and walked down to the train station. I bought our tickets a few weeks ahead of time online and got a few GBP off. The train into London was really nice and had free wifi on the way there. We arrived in Euston station about 45 minutes later and took the tube to our hotel, Ibis London City at Aldgate East. It was too early to check in but we were able to drop our luggage off and hit the streets of London. We took the tube to Trafalgar Square and went to the "Original London" tourist office and went on the Hop on, Hop off bus for the day. It was great to get the lay of the land and see all the famous sites!
Here are some of my favorite shots from day 1 in London:
The next day we got up really early and jumped on a bus to go with a tour group to see Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath. It was a VERY long day but was also a very awesome day! I was so proud of Rand because he did so well!
Here are some of my favorite pics from that day:
Windsor Castle
The interior of Windsor Castle was absolutely breathtaking! Unfortunately, the Queen wasn't there but it was still an awesome experience. We even got to see the changing of the Guards!
The City of Bath and the Roman Bath
Stonehenge
