(We didn't go see it as it would of cost us 16 pounds each - which is about $30 - to see the full gallery and the part we actually looked at was free. But I did see the painting from afar.)"<br /><br />You may have found it hard to get hold of tickets for the da Vinci exhibition anyway. I've heard stories about people who queued up for over four hours and still didn't manage to get tickets. I tried to book online, but I'd left it far too late. And to be fair, I don't know the first thing about art in any case, it was just because it was da Vinci. <br /><br />But anyway, I hope London continues to interest you. If you have time, you may like to visit Covent Garden. It's got such a lovely, bustling atmosphere and it's busy in a friendly kind of way, as opposed to the uncompromising shopper kind of busy, the kind that would knock you over without a second glance. The December before last, my mum and I booked into <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.silverdoor.co.uk/serviced-apartments/london">London serviced apartments</a> and had a weekend in Covent Garden. We didn't do much, just wandered around the shops and the market, watched the street performers, got through far too much mulled wine and chestnuts. But we came home feeling like we'd had a week's holiday and I think it was because of that lovely atmosphere.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477506925987494086.post-34604063097596659352012-01-31T14:14:52.335-08:002012-01-31T14:14:52.335-08:00Love it, Crystal!

Haha -- I walked more the last 2 weeks in Germany than I care to admit. :o) At least you had a good excuse! Bless you!Hollynoreply@blogger.com
