how should I occupy myself for two weeks in the UK?

[dbskyler]

I'm struggling with RL a little bit right now, so I am turning to more fun things to think about. And what could be more fun to think about than my upcoming trip to London to see David Tennant and Catherine Tate in Much Ado About Nothing?

I'm thinking that I'll spend around two weeks in the UK total. Obviously a few days of that will be London. This may also be the trip where I finally make it to Penzance! And yes, I freely admit that 95% of my desire to go to Penzance is the G&S operetta, but I've heard that Cornwall is nice to visit, too. Besides, on my last trip I took a photo of the "Ealing" sign when we passed through the station on the train, and the person I was traveling with asked me what I was photographing, and I had to lie and say I saw something out the window. But of course, it was really about documenting that I had been through Ealing, setting of Sarah Jane Adventures! Maybe I should try for South Croydon this time? ; )

So, flist! I'm in the market for suggestions. Where else should I go? What should I do? What should I not miss? I will be there in early July, in case that makes a difference for your suggestions.

*hugs abput RL* well, planning how to have a good time is ALWAYS a good way of making life seem less horrible :)

I would second my Cornwall love from the last time you were wondering about it. If you're up to a bit of walking, there's some short (and longer) walking paths with gorgeous cliff view. Also the town of St. Ives is gorgeous, and there's this small cool island if you go from Penzance towards Marazion which has a castle on it and when the sea is low you can walk all the way there. And there's this gorgeous observatory/plant and animal life thingie in Cornwall too. And I might just be reliving my Cornwall trip from last year now :D

(Also, if you're going to be in theUK for two weeks, is that going to be the two before or the two after the play (or in between?))

*hugs back* Yes, there's nothing like planning a really fun trip to remind you of the good things in life.

Nice Cornwall suggestions -- thanks! As long as I'm out there, I think I'll definitely have to swing by St. Ives. And yes, I'm always up for some walking. : )

I'm still figuring out my plans, but most likely I will get to London right at the beginning of July and stay until around the 16th. Do you think we might manage to overlap?

Well, I've already booked my flight and I'm arriving at London on the evening of the 15th :D :D
