Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I've been planning on doing a lot of walking around with my poor assistant, but I will get together with a friend, so a taxi trip or two is required. A river boat ride might be interesting though, as the last time I barely saw Thames. I have a habit of not seeing the main tourist attraction in town when I travel... I'm Finnish by the way, and I've travelled quite a bit, so I know hotel rooms even advertised as accessible might not be so great. - Venla On Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:14:04 -0500, " Extrellita " <extrellita@...> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I’ve been in London and taxis were great to move in, the best in the world > in my point of view, small and amazing comfortable.
