Last minute....again....
« on: April 13, 2006, 08:58:49 PM »
as usual, i am looking for something to do this weekend at the last minute.  i'm hoping to do 4 separate things on each day i have off...hopefully. 

for one day i'm considering visiting blenheim palace in oxford.  and another day i might give the bluewater shopping mall a visit (tho i am kinda leaning against that cuz that's the same type of activity i would do in the US).

so i thought i would ask you guys for some help.  i've already been to london (tho i haven't explored the 'burbs of london), bath, windsor, reading, newquay, brighton, torquay and cardiff....so mark those places off the list.  i'm up for going to a city/town specifically for an attraction (theme park, castle, festival, etc.)...tho i'm not into museums. 

anyone got any suggestions?

Oooh, my cousin is the assistant manager of the Blenheim giftshops! If you see a very pretty young woman with a name tag that says 'Daisy,' that's her!! :D

I wouldn't mind a suggestion or two myself. I would like to do something this weekend but since I've done next to nothing here, I have no clue where to start.

What bits of London have you done? If the weather holds out I would suggest going to Richmond and going on a boat trip up the Thames to Westminster.  Outside of London, what about Leeds Castle, near Maidstone? You could spend a whole day there,it's fabulous. Again you want decent weather for this is there are extensive grounds to explore as well as the castle itself.

I haven't done a lot in London except for the eye. I did Stonhenge and Ayesbury last year.

Part of the problem is there is so MUCH i'd like to see that I get overwhelmed and waste my day talking about it rather than doing.  ;D

I was thinking about Kew gardens since I am so close but maybe I'll wait for a sunnier day.

Another friend suggested Cambridge......
