[Sca-cooks] OT: Visiting London

[Elaine Koogler]

I loved the British Museum...lots of really cool stuff.  I also took a tour
(can't remember the name of the company) that went down through Kent through
Leeds Castle and Canterbury to Dover.  I liked it because, for the most
part, we were on our own to wander.  The only exception was the tour through
Leeds Castle.  It's been a while, but before I went, I purchased a "London
for Less" book.  It included cards that gave me discounts on all sorts of
restaurants, galleries, etc.  Be sure, also, to get out to Hampton
Court...not to be missed, even if you've seen it before.  They always seem
to be making improvements!
