In this second post in a five-part series, I took a walk around Prague 1 while Emily was at an orientation. My route took me to the Jewish Quarter, the Charles Bridge, Lennon Wall, and of course, Old Town Square.

Praha
The first in a five-part series, we flew to Prague, Czech Republic to drop Emily off at university. On this trip, we visit some famous landmarks- as well as make trips to IKEA to set up her dorm.
Tea Time Treats: Victoria Sandwich
With apologies to the Great British Baking show, here's a recipe for a Victoria sandwich, a nice moist cake with cream and raspberry filling.
The Tower of London
This final post in our Great British Adventure series focuses on the Tower of London. Since it was built in the 1100s, the Tower has served many purposes: armoury, treasury, Royal Mint, housing for the Crown Jewels, and very famously a prison. This was an interesting and educational experience for the family and definitely a must-do on any London itinerary. Cheers!
The London Pass
To help keep costs down, we utilized the London Pass with the Oyster travelcard to save on activities and transportation. We used it for admission into the Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, and more. Another advantage was that it included activities not originally on our itinerary, like the Shard, from which there are stunning views of the city at night.
