So today was another very busy day for me and the girls! We started the day by heading off to Westminster Abbey, where many very old very famous dead people are buried. We saw the tombs of Chaucer, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth I, and many others. But the highlight of the Abby came upon the girls when they discovered the Abbey housed........Britain's oldest door!! It was truely quite exciting. Then they took a boat tour down the Thames that docked in Greenwich Village. There they explored the Old Royal Navy College (and almost crashed a wedding), the Royal Maritime Museum, and the Royal Observatroy, where they did not get to straddle the Prime Meridian (officially that is, we found an unofficial spot further down the path that did not cost 10 £). After a hasty dinner, the girls went to see the muscial Wicked in the West End. And they have to say, it truely was wicked! Tomorrow they are off to Canterbury and Dover, and will then head off to Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Bath.
Cheers!
Tim.
