Have you ever dreamed of traveling in England, Wales and Scotland and really getting to know the people, society and culture? Well, there is no better way to do that than to travel and stay at bed and breakfast locations throughout. It’s a way to get a true feel of it all and soak up the culture and history all at the same time, meeting fellow travelers, guides and meeting the folks whose heritage and ancestry has roamed, worked and owned the land for 10s of generations.
Bed and Breakfast travel is the way to see it all and see it as it is, without all the plastic signs and tourist traps creating a façade of non-reality. If you are with me on this concept and want to learn more about it all, well then, may I be so bold as to tell you of my own travels and the book I used to do it? Okay then, let me recommend this very special and informational guide to the bed and breakfast stays in England, Wales and Scotland:

Both traditional print brands as well as purely cyber entities are slogging it out to grab the attention of this niche segment. The publishers of print brands after their initial reluctance have also started embracing the web and publish all their content online.

London has something for everyone. It has lush green parks, great stores, many many historic sites, fine dining and so much more. London is also very big. It’s huge. A little advanced planning will go a long way to making your trip a success.
The first thing to realize is there is no way to see the whole of London in a day, or two or even a week. The length of time you have to visit will determine how you visit things. If you only have a day taking a bus tour will let you see the sites but you will not be able to really appreciate them. If you have a longer time the subway and a good guide book will let you savor the experience.
Getting around London on the subway or underground is the easiest thing in the world. Find out what station you’re at and which station is closest to your destination. The best way to do that is with a book called “London A-Z”. You can find it at news
stand. Once you know where you are and where you’re going, figure out the direction. Most underground lines go in two directions from a given station. There are also large signs showing the stops on that line from your station to the final station.
Money in London is not an issue. Most places take the major credit cards and the cash machines take Interact. I usually withdrew enough money for a day or two to avoid using plastic. Prices in London are pretty reasonable. Save money by not
eating or buying things near really popular tourist destinations such as the British Museum. Prices are much more expensive.
Expect to get a pretty good work out. You can do a lot of walking. You’ll do a lot more if you get lost! Before leaving invest in a good pair of shoes and make sure they’re broken in. A small day pack with a bottle of water and a rain jacket will make your day much more enjoyable.
There are so many things to see. Rather than describe each one in detail, here are a few of the places I most enjoyed visiting:
The British Museum
The British Library
The Tower of London
Hyde Park (Speakers Corner)
221B Baker St
In summary, get a good map, get good shoes and be prepared. A little advanced
planning and thought will make your trip to London a very enjoyable experience.
