Finally, My Steve McQueen Cardigan
I have been eyeing this up for over 2 years. I finally went to Drake's to try it on and found a medium fits perfectly---go figure. I decided to buy it at 700 Pounds. It is now being sole for 1000 pounds!!!
of course, the Great Man....
British Museum
I LOVE the British Museum. The Rick Steves' audio tour is fantastic as this is the second time listening to the tour...It traces three historic civilizations, The Egyptians, Assyrians and Greeks.
I like this look as you come upon the museum
The Great Rotunda
The mummies were wonderful

Back to London; The Radisson Blu Edwardian
Back to London...My Stay at the Radisson Blu Edwardian in Bloomsbury was just what I needed. The British Museum is right down the block, Russell Sq is a few blocks away and the West End is a nice 20 Minute walk. I really enjoy this area as it has theaters, cafe, restaurants and Starbucks.
The room a tad small but nice....

Guernsey Island
The flight was 15 minutes to Guernsey...took the bus to Hotel for a pound. The weather is really nice here today. I checked into the Yacht Inn. I had a 3 floor room. It was nice for about 70 bucks.
I did eat the best Fish and chips I ever had. Grilled sea bass, with grilled scallops and shtrimp. It was wonderful. The Mora restaurant was wonderful.
Flying out the next day, I know I wanted to see what was interesting. There was this Victor Hugo home and museum tour but unfortunently the times of the tour and my flight did not match up. I packed, took the bus for the hour flight to London.

Jersey Island
Ahh, the Tunnels....The short hop flight took less than an hour. I got off the plane looking for the lockers to store my bag while I took the island tour of the WW 2 Tunnels.

Radisson Blu Chisinau
Maybe the best Radisson Blu, great breakfast, friendly staff, large room and the room service costs do little.
Transnistria III
At the end f our walking tour, we met up with Andrey the boss. He had a nice Dutch and German couple that hbsaud we would join and go to the Monastery. We ended up spending an additional two hours Viking sites and then having a me together. My lunch ended up costing only 6 Euros!
Transnistria
I had a great night and breakfast at The Radisson. My drive to Transnistria arrived promptly at 10am, The drive began with him having a fender bender as we were leaving Chisinau. It turned out go be a nothing burger. The drive took about an hour and a half. We went through customs without an issue.
After customs, we drove to the waiting area before the theatre where we met my guide.
The guide was a lovely, young woman named Victoria. She proceed for the next hour and. A half to walk we around to all the historic Soviet and Transnistria sites. Here are the photo highlights.

My Moldova
Independence Day, August 27! In Nice, I decided to visit and knock off Moldova and Transnistria.
The flight was no problem. My arrival in Chisinau was greeted with a bag that had a bottle of Champagne and whiskey as it was their Independence Day. I attempted to take the bus into the city to the Radisson Blu hotel. I was the only English speaking person on the bus. I felt like everyone was looking at me like I was from another planet. I guess I was being from NYC.
