i love how companys in england use every chance they can to fuck you up the ass. i'm taking my folks and mel to london while they are over for the baptism. now if we were traveling in say- any time period except the 'holidays' cheap tickets would run us 2pounds each on the bus. right now we are looking at 72pounds for 4 adults on the bus. forget about taking the train- they love to go on strike during that time of year, they also love to cancel your seat reservations so even if you booked in advance some fucker could get on and take your seat and you could end up standing the whole way there. for travel on jan4th i got that quote. i checked jan 6th, just in case it was cheaper- nope.
the price of our day out is making my eyes water. if we go to everything i have on the list, it's crazy.
westminster abbey- 15pounds(that includes the awesome tour)
knights templar church- not sure what the cost is
terracotta army- 12pounds
king tut- 15pounds for thurs/20pounds if we go on a friday
tube ticket- 5pounds
bus ride down-18pounds
that's over $130 + food for the day. oh i feel faint.
