Great Britain Whirlwind Tour
This tour was awesome! We awoke most mornings by 0530 to get loaded, breakfast, and hit the road! Being winter it was dark from around 1630-0800 each day so we were able to catch up on a bit of sleep on the road. Our leader spent time orienting us and taking care of most housekeeping tasks on the road which helped make the best use of our on the "ground" time. There was so much to see and so many beautiful sites! Never enough time to see everything.
