Just a few questions for those who have toured the UK recently and those living there, as I will be spending August and most of September touring through Scotland and England.
There are a variety of passes (e.g. National Trust) that give discounted entry to various attractions. If you used one, which was it and how useful was it? I'm planning to copy my CF cards to a portable hard drive (PD70X) and burn DVDs when I can. Should I be going to internet cafés or computer shops or camera shops to get the DVDs burnt? I'm also dragging along my homemade MF panoramic camera so I'll have 120 E6 film to be developed before I go home. The last stops are 13 days in London followed by a week in Paris, so I'm assuming that London would be the best place to get it done. Can anyone recommend a processor in London with a reasonable turn around, say 3 - 4 days, and reasonable cost? What is the deal with booking a couple of tickets on the London Eye? I've been told to book the day before, do I just turn up and queue or is there somewhere else that it can be done. Finally, if you've been on Eurostar recently are there any special precautions to take to avoid hassles? I'm traveling on an Australian passport so I expect I'll be subject to the full range of checks and customs etc. Regards, Paul Ewins Melbourne, Australia
