London Greetings o traveling ones.
Thanks for bringing back so many great memories for us from last summer.
I too would rather be in the 'baths' AND BE WARM.This will be fun traveling with you for free.
How heavy are your backpacks?
Take care Love Aunty Mrs. Wocks
Eggs on Toast Thanks Tammy! I think you're right about toad in a hole. I called them eggs with hats because that's what Russ called them once upon a time. This morning we ordered eggs on toast in an English pub, which is really toad in a hole, without the hole (or, toad on a hat). I've had a lot of eggs on toast over the past year by my own accord without ever realizing it was a specifically British tradition. I suppose you can't order it in a restaurant back home. I like it with Frank's Red Hot Sauce, although it would seem that 'Brown sauce' is the sauce of choice here.
Toad in a hole Hi Sarah and Tim,
Sounds like you two are having a great time already. Too bad about the rain, but it sounds pretty typical of the motherland, haha. Good thing you brought rain jackets.
I didn't know what you were talking about when you said "Eggs with hats", until I saw the picture, that is. I think another name for that meal is "Toad in a hole", which I think is just about the most creative and fun name for a breakfast dish ever! Good job, Tim!
Enjoy the Cirque, the RCM Symphony, and the rest of your trip!
Cheerio,
Tamara
MEOW Great speking with you this morning on Skpe. You have already seen so many amazing things, and you have just begin! Enjoy your evening at the Cirque tonight - stay safe - we love you. Bosley, Mama and Dad.
Wow Holy smokes . . are you guys ever on the go!!! I love the variety in your day . .and although the weather looks a little damp, I can tell your hearts are full of sunshine as you take in the history, traditions, music, people watching, browsing etc . . . . and yes, you must head back in to Harrods . . . and forget the rabbit and pheasants . . . do the Brits have hot wings???? :) xoxo
Oh the fun of exploring new cities and bar customs !!! Glad you're there safe and sound - we're all tracking your trip and looking forward already to your next post!
TIPS! Hey! So glad you guys made it safe! I love that you have already seen cool things....movie being filmed whaaaat?! Sam says to make sure that you don't tip in pubs. Apparently it's actually insulting since no one does it and you're implying that bartenders need the money. You can tip in some restaurants, but only restaurants. Weird. Have fun getting over the jet lag! At least there should be lots of late night places open in London. Fun!
Love to you both!
Jenn
Yahooo You two are going to have SUCH an incredible time!!! Will be checking here regularly to keep up to date on the craziness! Remember - part of a true tour is sampling the hotwings in every country you visit :) Love you!
