The Final Post
Because this is my last post, rather than telling you another cautionary tale, I wanted to tell you my top four places to visit in the UK (I did live there for 6 months, after all.)
1. York
A beautiful city surrounded by old castle walls. You can adventure along the top, visit Clifford tower, or take a stroll along the canal. Just watch out for the geese. They are everywhere. Literally everywhere. On the walk from the station to the hotel, I saw geese blocking two of the four sides of an intersection, as the locals just waited for them to pass.
2. Brighton
Whether its carnival rides on the pier you're after, or just a taste of sea air while strolling along a pebble beach, this is the perfect coastal adventure. Or if shopping is more your sting, the main street has plenty to offer, just make sure you visit Shakeaway, where they'll make you a milkshake from any combination of the chocolates, lollies, or assorted deserts they have on offer.
3. Norwich
A peaceful town build around a castle, Norwich is a lovely place to get away. You can visit the castle, go on a walk through many of the old cathedrals in the town, or if you go at the right time of year hunt dragons (or other animals, as it changes every time) as part of the GoGo trail.
4. Cambridge
More than just a university, Cambridge is a maze of streets full of history, places to see and some of the brightest minds in the country. If you want to learn about the buildings they live and study in, taking a punting tour on the canal is definitely the most relaxing way to do it. And you'll hear some great stories along the way.
