"Caaaan you feeeeeeeeeel the looooooins toniiiiiiiight?"
that made me nearly roll on the floor (didn't we have a smiley that did just that?
ah, found it...)
Rune, I thought of Peter Pan, too, but she has to read the book yet. Well, at least that can be done....
And I'm with you in saying that zoos are zoos and unless there's a very special animal in the London zoo, I doubt we'll go there.
Scones, now... that's a good idea. Just have to find the perfect place for them then.
Fara and Tosh, thanks, the NHS is a good idea, also
Crucifer,
thanks for bringing back Kew Gardens to my mind, I think she'll like that. For musicals - well she's got english lessons for a year now - I doubt that her vocabulary will grow that much until next year.
Jewel, her interests
well, as with every child, they change. We've been to a Kandinsky exhibition and she loved it. We've got a nice botanical garden here at the university and she likes it. She loves music - as she plays the transverse flute and the piano. We'll go and see the Tut-ench-Amun exhibition in Munich this summer. I'll report in then.
Help in finding accomodation would be very welcome.
I know, it's still a year from now, but planning is the best part of it, isn't it?
on museums: When I was in the British Museum the last time, Alandriel was with me and she told me that she takes her daughter there just to look at one or two things closely, because the whole museum is just too overwhelming. I have already some pieces in mind I'd like to show Jana ( the Parthenon rooms and then I remember some very interesting clocks there).
I'll edit this in the first post for setting up a to-do-list:
- ride a double decker bus for sightseeing (upper level, preferably the open ones - hope for good weather)
- London Eye, Big Ben (Jana's wishes)
- Covent Garden (my wish)
- New Tate (do they have a Kandinsky there?) with the Millenium Footbridge
- Scones (but where?)
- Museums (British / History / Science?)
and the not-to-do-list:
- musical (I fear her english is too poor)
- London Dungeon ( too creepy, she won't even go into the ghost train on the fun fair)#
Another thing...
do I remember correctly that kids aren't allowed in pubs? I don't want to stick to the big yellow M for eating. I remember a Pizza Hut near Covent Garden, but there must be alternatives......
