On Friday during the day we went to the Imperial War Museum and it was very interesting. I would highly recommend it to anyone. They had an outstanding Holocaust exhibit, other exhibits included WW1 and tanks and other war stuff. It was almost overwhelming the amount of information that was at the museum. I will be going back with a class I am taking here as well. After the museum we walked back to the Wobbly Bridge. The view just never gets old. After that back to Gordon's. Following Gordon's we went to this "slient" dance in Trafalger Square. What they mean by silent is everyone brings their own ipod and headphones and listens to their own music. Well this turned into people jumping off the Trfagler Square monuments into the crowd...we had nothing to do with this what so ever (am I being sarcastic- I guess you will never know haha)
The next morning we got up early and took a bus to Stonehenge. Though very historic, the rocks were literally in the middle of nowhere with valleys of sheep pastures all around. Being "those loud Americans" we did all of the different poses with the rocks and I even offered my own made up commentary. The hilarious part about this was that you had to go through a turnstile to actually get to the area that the rocks were on. Even more hilarious was that you could only walk within about 45 feet of the rocks. I must say that I have seen one of the seven wonders of the world which not many can say they have seen.
Next stop on the bus was Salisbury. Typical UK town. Old Cathedral that holds one of the Magna Cartas. The inside of pubs is the same everywhere
Cheers,
Paul
