I went to the Wallace monument but never actually went up it as i don't like heights.<BR/><BR/>Hardly ever made the trip through to Edinburgh even though it was only an hour on train. Still never been to that castle or the underground city.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284082835424987769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-27230635633565161792008-05-05T21:15:00.000+01:002008-05-05T21:15:00.000+01:00Brom - sounds like a great day out to me!YP - I th...Brom - sounds like a great day out to me!<BR/><BR/>YP - I think you have something there with your comment about the back streets.J.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429727115197726031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-80856359779785500222008-05-01T20:31:00.000+01:002008-05-01T20:31:00.000+01:00When in Rome, we failed to see the Sistine Chapel ...When in Rome, we failed to see the Sistine Chapel because the Sunday morning queue was immense and moved slower than the London Eye. The same happened to me at the Reichstag in Berlin... but I sometimes think that it is in the back streets and the mundanity of a great city that you can best hear its heartbeat.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-35290894149644125512008-05-01T11:24:00.000+01:002008-05-01T11:24:00.000+01:00When I lived in Wales a mate packed his mum and a ...When I lived in Wales a mate packed his mum and a friend off for a one day visit to London on the train for their first ever visit.

We went to Pisa for the afternoon, looked at the tower, but didn't go up it. But we did have a look at the Pisa football ground.

It truly is one of the most beautiful interiors anywhere in the world: a real secular cathedral.<BR/><BR/>On the topic of not seeing the most obvious sites, we went to Amsterdam for 5 days once and didn't step foot in the redlight district, in a 'coffee-bar' (snigger, giggle, cough), or visit Ann Frank's House. We didn't feel we'd missed anything.<BR/><BR/>* I use the term loosely as neither of us can dance.Lisa Rullsenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020425273742237299noreply@blogger.com
