Awesome Bao - have a good time!

I have never been but I will go ahead and add:

Travel Tip No 1 - check out some exchange rates on the internet and your local banks. With the flux in economies nowadays there may be a benefit to buying pounds at home vs the airport or arriving there.

Take some photos and safe travels!

What weekend? If it is the last weekend I will be in Amsterdam with Ferdinand and those guys. We will be wearing bright orange, drinking, and smoking so come over and find us:r. If it is before the May 1st weekend I may be able to come down and we can have a smoke at the LCdH in London and have some lunch at Meza's.

Bao,

London Dungeon or the Tower Bridge experience are nice museums. And take 'the big bus' tour, you'll see all of London in a double deck bus, with nice weather you can sit on the open top deck.

London Marriott Hotel Maida Vale was a very nice hotel and on the cheaper side. hotel is a 3-4 minute walk from the tube, hell everything is near a tube station. i would do oxford, there's a pretty nice cigar shop on the main street. if you're a harry potter fan you'll recognize half the movie which was filled at oxford. you can also rent these little row boats and go down a somewhat romantic, not sure what to call it smaller then a reiver bigger then a stream.

do Windsor Castle, Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace(they all carry ar-15's), Trafalgar Square, see one church they're all the same and there's 20 per block. Tower of London. Tour of the London Bridge at night (need to reserve). HMS belfast (battleship).

remember not all hotels have ac, even ones you think would. don't bother with breakfast just do your stomach a favor. pubs for food. trafalgar square has plenty to eat but very touristy. if you need more info shot me a pm and i'll have my wife reply with 20 pages of crap your gf will love. (you may not)

if he buys cigars in London, he can really use the extra $200, as cigars are much more expensive in the UK as in The Netherlands.
