Wanderlustful

For as long as I can remember, I've suffered from a severe case of wanderlust. I daydream daily about beautiful places to visit. My tumblr is full of gorgeous locations that I yearn to visit.

One of the places that I plan on visiting one day is London, so, obviously I took note when I came across this list of rules for life in London that Rudyard Kipling wrote for his 12 year old daughter.

Rules for Life in London

  1. Wash early and often with soap and hot water.
  2. Do not roll on the grass of the parks. It will come off black on your dress.
  3. Never eat penny buns, oysters, periwinkles or peppermints on the top of a bus. It annoys the passengers.
  4. Be kind to policemen. You never know when you may be taken up.
  5. Never stop a motor bus with your foot. It is not a croquet ball.
  6. Do not attempt to take pictures off the wall of the National Gallery or to remove cases of butterflies from the National History Museum. You will be noticed if you do.
  7. Avoid late hours, pickled salmon, public meetings, crowded crossings, gutters, water-carts and over-eating.
I love this list! Now, tell me, where would you love to go? Would you like to visit London? What would you add to the list of Rules for Life in London?

Ha! I love these rules. I'll have to keep them in mind when I head over to visit. Does he have rules about Paris or Munich as well??? I may need some guidelines for my summer trips. Hope you are able to make your dream vacation soon!
