A brief stop in England during a scorching, record-breaking heatwave. The kind of heat the country rarely sees and isn't really built for. Trains ran late, plans fell through, and more than a few things were delayed or cancelled, so I didn't get to see nearly as much as I'd hoped.
Still, the streets of London were packed with tourists braving the heat, and there's something to be said for wandering a city when the usual itinerary falls apart. A short visit, but England left me wanting to come back—ideally in cooler weather.
