opalsongHi all,
I'm posting twice today because I have time now and I don't really want to try and do it tomorrow because we are going to be travelling to New Castle tomorrow and I want to sleep in as long as possible. (That made sense in my head, but I'm really tired so it might not...)
Today was really good. We started late (8:00) and got caught up so we actually got started even later. But it was really relaxed so that was awesome! We went to the National Gallery! I saw some very famous paintings (and R is a painter so she was SUPER excited). I did get to see the painting I based my "Fruits of the Renaissance" essay on so that was awesome. I also saw so Byzantinian art which was super cool.
Then we had a nap (YAY). Lunch had been at the National Cafe that was hooken onto the Gallery.
At about 5:00 we went to the London Dungeons. This is a really good horror house/theme ride. It is all based on the various things that have happened to London. Like the plague, Jack the Ripper, Sweeny Todd, various excecutions and courts, torture, and Hangings. They had people in costume and everything. It was super cool! It included a water ride and a drop ride.
All in all a nice and relaxed day - my body still feels like it is going to collapse.
Goodnight all,
B
