Every time I've asked Bob for advice on where to go in London he takes me into
a dark, dingy room heaving with loud people and gets me inebriated.

If you have an interest in medicine and pharmacy, the Wellcome Foundation, on
Euston Road, has an excellent small museum.

Thanks for that great advice, Bob. I only wish we could have organised more
time in London.
The hop-on/hop-off buses are a great idea - we plan to do something similar in
Dublin. I was aware of the Oyster card (similar, I think, to Sydney's Opal
card) so we'll be looking into that.
I'll keep 8

great sculpture of Newton):

I found London very friendly to navigate on foot, in the tube or by the
Open-Top Tour Buses. The latter are quite nice, as then generally stop at
the places a tourist wants to see. The Tube is not quite up to the Moscow

Thanks.
Another thing I forgot to mention is getting around, other than by boat or
open-top bus. On public transport you can't use cash. You can use a contactless
credit/debit or an Oyster card, which you will need to put money on. You need a
separate card for each person, you can't pay more
I agree with everything Bob says and recommends about London. That is just
about what we did when we had a week there. We might even have been
traveling with the be4nefit of his guidance way back then.

P.s. I forgot to mention the Royal Academy, which is superb. I would also
mention the Courtauld Gallery, which is my favourite in London, but it's closed
at the moment; it's situated in Somerset House, which is well worth a visit in
its own right.

otherwise you may feel you haven't really seen London.
I can strongly recommend the open-top bus tours which, on a nice day, give you
a very good and enjoyable overview of central London and the main sights, and

Ireland is a glorious country to visit.
I highly recommend that you avoid the over-hyped monuments to Norman
English rule, such as St Patricks Cathedral, Powerscourt, and Dublin
Castle, and overcrowded tourist traps like the Guinness plant, Blarney
Castle and the Ring of Kerry.

OK
Flying into Dublin on 3 May. Four nights there, then car hire and heading to
south west coast, up the west coast via Galway to Donegal, back to Dublin.
Do you have a more detailed itinerary - so we can tell you where you've gone
wrong?

G'day all
My wife and I will be travelling around Ireland & the UK during May/June,
starting in Dublin and ending in London where we'll be from 7 June (leaving on
10 June). Sadly, our time is pretty limited there (only two full days and my
wife has a full program of galleries & museums to
