Book It
After Norway, we are heading back to the US for a few weeks to visit some friends and family on the East Coast, as well as re-charge a little before the next phase of our trip. Our flight took us through London, so we decided to stay a few days. Since we’ve already seen a lot of the big tourist sights here, we went looking for something a little different.
We read about a place called Stanford’s, the worlds largest map and travel bookstore, and made a beeline for it. Kid-in-a-candy-store doesn’t begin to describe me. I’ve never seen so many maps, guidebooks, and travel literature in one place, arranged by continent and then country. The entire bottom floor is dedicated to just maps and historical books about England. It’s wonderful and we left with a bag full of Mark Twain and Paul Theroux that will probably put our luggage over the weight limit for the flight home. Can’t wait to start reading!
