10 Oktober 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Well boarded the train at Bath Spa to Paddington into London. Our accommodation in Bath was somewhat 'Faulty Towers' complete with characters. Our meals got mixed up with other tables, and just as I was about to take a bite, Manuel appeared with his shirt hanging out he swiftly whisked the meal away from me. In the distance, I'm sure I heard - Baasssil! It has been hilarious 😂 We have laughed every night in this quirky little motel.Baca lagi

Westminster Abbey and a walk around.
11 Oktober 2024, England ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Our air bnb is fabulous. Two underground railways next to us but no noise. A "stones throw" from the Tower of London, we decided to explore the neighbourhood and then went to Westminster Abbey. There are 30 British Monarchs entombed in Westminster Abbey. I really wanted to see Edward the Confessor (King). His tomb is of limits to the public. However, if you wanted to say a prayer 🙏 you could enter with a priest into the area where the tomb is. So off we went up the stairs, placed on seats right in front of the Edward the Confessors 1066 tomb. Over to my left was King Henry 111 tomb. There was only 4 other people in this area. It was incredible, and even more incredible, we didn't burst into flames 🔥
We also saw Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth 1 tombs and so much more. Lovely little chapel, the Phx Chamber, oldest part of Westminster. Back on the tube, a quick pint and home 🏡Baca lagi

Meet up with Des, Maria & Charlie. Lovely lunch of traditional London meat pies. ( I had fish 🐟 🥧 - yummy) at The Barrow Boy and Banker. An old bank pub that still has its original fittings. A walk through the Borough Market, a bit like our Vic Market, but on a grand scale and a lot better, was very crowded. Next stop Leicester Square and Convent Garden 💐 Finished the day with a ale at The Dickens Inn at Katharine Doc. Thanks to our tour guides " The Wellers"Baca lagi

On the Buses
13 Oktober 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Quiet day today. Boarded The Top View Bus 🚌 for a 3 hour trip around London. Went past Bulgravia the most expensive area to live in London. Margaret Thatcher lived in this area. There are strict guidelines on the appearances of your residence. The exterior must be painted every 4 years and in an exact colour, so they all look the same. There is no backyard, and residence's are granted access to various parks exclusively for them via a "keylock." Hoped off and visited St Paul's Cathedral not as spectacular as some that we have seen. Back to the air bnb, home cooked meal and early night 🌙 😴Baca lagi

The White Tower
14 Oktober 2024, England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Early start with Miranda, our blue badge tour guide, for a tour of The Tower of London. Forecast, 🌧 but we didn't care. The White Tower, as it is known, was built in 1078 by William the Conquer after the Battle of Hastings. Saw the impressive Crown Jewels 👑 no photos allowed. The Cullinan Diamond discovered 1905 in South Africa is the largest ever found in the world 🌎 A whopping 3106 carrots. Spilt into two pieces, one piece into the Royal Spectra and the other into the Imperial Crown. Despite all of that, I loved the Raven birds that live at the Tower, much bigger than I thought. We saw Henry V111 armour, imperial gifts, weapons, and too much more to mention.Baca lagi

Well, today has been one of the highlights for me. I was like a kid in a candy 🍬 shop! I love my test cricket 🏏
2 hour tour with James and Brenda - fabulous! Sad seeing Shane Warne's painting. Apparently, the picture of the Queen was in that spot on the wall. They shifted her the next floor below and put Shane there! 'Death of The Ashes' newspaper article, Victor Trumper pads, Creig's World Cup jumper. It goes on and on and, of course, the famous Ashes Bottle. Went to the players' dressing rooms, The Long Room (setting up for function tonight) The bar, if only those walls could talk what a tale they would tell!Out onto to balcony were Shane did his famous dance, then up into the actual broadcasting media room. Could have spent all day there!Baca lagi

Three hour guided tour of the Colessum [69 AD) Palatine Hill ( 27BC - 14AD) and the Roman Forum where the Emperors and Sentors ruled. Much of the Roman Forum is still standing today. The building with one single window is where the Senators lived
We were lucky enough to see ruins of where Romulus and Remus lived, as they have recently excavated this site. I was expecting the Colessum to be impressive, and it was, but Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum were truly something to behold and an experience I will never forget! Take note of the map. Red, which shows the Roman Empire 117ADBaca lagi

Day spent at the independent state "The Vatican" skip the line tickets worth every cent. Saw the Vatican Museum, St Peter's Bascilla, Sistine Chapel(no photos allowed), St Peter's Square . The Vatican has the largest amount of gold bullion in the world. Didn't really think much of St Peter's Bascilla or St Peter's Square. Enjoyed hearing about Michael Angelo's life and the painting of the Sistine Chapel. After we left the world of opulence, we passed all of the homeless beggars, some of which were missing limbs. Go figure 🤔Baca lagi

Beautiful paintings and a 17th-century carriage in the entrance, and we had the whole place to ourselves, no crowds! Had a nice lasagne for tea and a glass of wine - bed 🛌 😴Baca lagi

Friars and their Crypt
25 Oktober 2024, Itali ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Today, we visited the Convent di Cappuccini, which is where the Order of Capunchin Friars have their crypts. This order of Friars broke away from the traditional Catholic Church ⛪️ and was formed in 1206. They were a very humble group that served the poor and the society around them. There are over 4000 Friars buried there, as well as mummies on display. Ten thousand bones make up the decorative crypts. The photos don't depict the details of the crypts. It was an excellent tour and experience.Baca lagi
