Crete is worth a visit too..great hikes, and even older than Athens etc

I wanted to do that.

Or Mykonos as well.

Both were suggested by me.

I was outvoted 1-1, hence why we are not going...

Santorini is cute, but will be very crowded and expensive in summer...

We're in Dominica this week. Like it a lot here.

I finished my shift and had to disembark last week. We did so in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. To reach it, we navigated the Beagle Channel, retracing the steps (strokes?) of my hero, Charles Darwin.
An impressive display by nature.

Belgravia is a fantastic area to stay in London. It's elegant, quiet, and centrally located, with good access to public transportation. Charming streets, lovely boutiques, and great dining spots make it a solid choice for your group. Battersea is also a good option, but it's more residential and a bit further from central attractions. If you're okay with being a little out of the way, the value for money can be great there.
For your Wimbledon day, check out the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. It's a must for tennis fans. As for favorite spots in London, Borough Market is a food lover's paradise, and strolling along the South Bank offers great views and vibes.
Speaking of stays, I've also been to this hotel in Branson, Missouri, and it was a cozy and memorable experience, perfect for a peaceful retreat.
