StaceyOkay, specifically UK friends (there are a lot of you here, I feel like?). If someone was planning a first trip to the UK--about 11 days, but that includes travel to/from Canada--what would you recommend? Starting from London. I was kind of thinking see London (lots to see?) a few day trips. Then it occurred to me I could take the train to Edinburgh for a few days then fly home from there. I want to resist the temptation to overdo it. And also, you're THERE, y'know?
Dr Alice Violett@Vidyala as has been said, you could easily fill the time with London alone 😁 not that I'm biased, but Colchester is an hour from London on the train and has a cool modern art gallery, a really old castle museum, and a games café 😉
@alicemcalicepants not that you're biased! :D So far no one thinks it's worth going to Edinburgh, full stop? Although you're all too polite to come out and say it. 😂
Neil Hopkins@Vidyala @alicemcalicepants depends when your visiting! The Edinburgh Festival during August is amazing but hotels charge a heck of a lot more! Also, if you’re heading north on the train you’ll probably be coming past Sheffield!
@satsuma @alicemcalicepants Coming in September! It looks like the train at…Doncaster is the closest? I keep reading people say to stop at York if you’re going to Edinburgh but Neil, I don’t know, haha. 😆 There’s lots I don’t know, clearly!
@alicemcalicepants @satsuma I am Canadian and have no context for this, lol
@alicemcalicepants @satsuma okay haha 😆
