Millski Travels

TL;DR - We napped, looked at art, and drank. Also met up with an old friend we met on a trip in 2019. After a relatively smooth flight full of movie binges and micro naps we found ourselves in in the great city of London! We made our way to our Airbnb in the heart of the Waterloo district and promptly took a 30 minute nap.... which lasted 3 hours.  Finally conscious and refreshed we strolled around the South Bank Center, finding a sea of patios, food stands and beer gardens. Our ultimate destination that evening was the famed Sky Garden at the top of the "Walkie-Talkie" building to catch the sunset over England's largest city. Day two in London began with us enjoying a home cooked breakfast in our Airbnb's oasis of an garden. Then we set off for a full day of walking the city.

Thank you so much! This trip would not be happening without the village that supports us. We've managed to pack out lives into carry-on luggage and despite the squeeze, we'd like to introduce two additional companions traveling with us. Those who followed Gabi's travels in her early twenties are sure...

Gabi and I are just 5 days away from taking off on our extended globetrotting journey. We'll be posting updates on this blog for anyone interested (i.e. parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and an eclectic mix of others looking to live vicariously through us as we drain our bank accounts).  Here's an overview of the section of our trip which we've planned so far:    The above map was built on  travellerspoint.com Until next time, Dan
