Europe reconfiguration

seldearDue to some reconfiguration of the Europe portion of the tour, I'll more or less be spending two weeks in the UK.
I was hoping to go to Hungary and see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beefree88 and Budapest; unfortunately, several factors work against.
1. The airlines. Budapest is not exactly on everyone's flight schedule.
2. The timing. I was hoping to arrive in Budapest early and leave late, sobeefree88 and I could go around the city before heading back to her place. Arriving early/leaving late tends to mean an extra night of hostelling/staying somewhere - again, it's related to airline flights and times of departure.
3. The direction. Budapest is east of London. A couple of hours is not much jetlag, but when you're only going for a few days, believe me, it still wrecks the body.
So no Budapest this year - although, it's on the itinerary for next time. I might travel through Europe by train, rather than fly, and end up in London.
Instead of flying out to Budapest, I was thinking of doing some small travel around England/Wales/Scotland instead. I have no idea how feasible this is, nor how safe for an Australian travelling alone (apparently Australians are the biggest sluts when travelling), but I'd rather like to go west towards Wales...actually, I'd like to see Shrewsbury - home of Ellis Peter's medieval sleuth Brother Cadfael.
Will it be snowing in the UK in November? Or just damn freezing?
At any rate, I have to sort a lot of things out before I get to the UK and start wandering around.
