Vacation in England 17.04-24.04.2008
















Our family has a tradition to travelt to England once a year . We simply cannot get enough of this mangnificent country, it attracts us with its fantastic culture, architecture, history and not least shopping :) We spent 4 days in London: this time we visited The British Museum, London Zoo and the Imperial War Museum. I am very impressed of our kids because they are as exited about museums as their parents, they enjoy culture which is not very common with children at their age. We were visiting Londons attractions by buss and subway. We also shopped til we almost dropped, the prices in England are so cheap compared to Norway! After 4 days in London we rented a car and headed to Stonehenge which was fantastic...there is spooky silence in area it felt almost as past generations wanted to tell us their story. From Stonehenge we drove to Cheltenham in central England, Mariannes best friend lives there, she is married to englishman. Lowater family is awesome: friendly and hospitable, Ben (the husband) is a busy man, he works for secret service and is also a stake president of a Cheltenham stake, Ingerbrit is home with kids and also studies to became a writer or a poet. They have 4 kids about the same age than ours, , mother Ingerbrit was baptized about the same time as Marianne in the beginning of 90's. We stayed at their place fo 3 days, it was a great way to learn more about english lifestile and to get to know some of countrys traditions. We had a great trip and will be back in England next year.
