Wandering around London:

Morning walk along Southbank, Tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Looking at Art (and looking at people taking pictures of themselves 'looking' at art) at Tate Modern, People watching in Green Square and stumbling across the cutest church-converted-garden museum with great views from its tower.

Rugby and Coventry
2023年10月1日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Starting to head north:

Visited Rugby (the town where rugby was invented), but unfortunately everything was closed. However did see a few interesting statues and plaques in the street.
Moved on to Coventry, had a walk around the cathedral, which was targeted in the blitz and rebuilt retaining the surviving walls, where I received a suprise choir concert. Also went to the Herbert museum where I met Dippy the Diplodocus.

Fun Fact of the day: the game of rugby was named after the town of rugby which was named after the de Rokeby family, who had their 13th century moated manor house there.もっと詳しく

Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon
2023年10月2日, イングランド ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
Picturesque Towns and Shakespearean Tales:

On my way to Stratford, had a longish wait in Leamington to change trains, so decided to look around and very glad I did. Did the towns self-guided walking tour, and it was gorgeous. It was like Manuka, but make it a city. In Stratford I went to Shakespeare's Birthplace, and 'New House' where a museum dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the first folio is. In the evening I went to a medieval pub for dinner, and then to the Swan Theatre to watch the Merchant of Venice. It was very good, and afterwards went for a drink with the people in my section. What happens when an aussie, pom and American walk into a bar? They all order variations of soda water and annoy the bar staff (we had a lovely time however).もっと詳しく

Morning in Stratford and Trip to Manchester

In the morning went for a walk around the Stratford-upon-Avon canals and visited the Butterfly house (iguana spotted). Then visited Tudor World and the MAD museum of Mechanical Art.
Spent the afternoon travelling to Manchester where I will be based for the next few days.

Fun Fact of the day: Henry the 8th suffered a head injury that "changed his personality" and made him act wack.もっと詳しく

I had no idea that Ned Kelly was related to Shakespeare or did he just act in one of the tragic plays? [Susan Basic]

Manchester
2023年10月4日, イングランド ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Museum Hopping and 'Lovely Weather'

Spent the day visiting Manchester's various museums; Castlefield Urban Heritage Park, the Science and Industry Museum (at a location that used to be a textiles loading dock and has the first computer "Baby"), the People's History Museum, and (my suprise favourite) the National Football Museum. Was told by some locals that the partly cloudy, misty rain and wind was 'Lovely weather' to explore Manchester (😶).

Fun Fact of the Day: Waterproof Fabric was Invented in Manchester by Charles Macintosh adding Rubber to Cotton to create himself a jacket to wear in the rain.もっと詳しく

Liverpool
2023年10月5日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
The Royal Albert Dock and Cruising with the Fab Four:

Went on an incredible sing-along Beatles bus tour (where I was the youngest by a long shot), then explored the museums around the Royal Albert Dock. The British Music Museum, Maritime Museum, and the Beatles Museum (got to go inside yellow submarine!), all of which are located in the former warehouse buildings surrounding Liverpool's historical main Dock.

Fun Fact of the Day: Why should you always visit the bakery before visiting a European Royal family? Because they're all into-bread.もっと詳しく

Manchester to York
2023年10月6日, イングランド ⋅ 🌬 21 °C
Moving from Manchester to York:

Bookended by a trip to the Casltefield Viaduct (an old railway bridge that is now a community gardens project) in the morning and stroll along the York City Walls in the evening.

Fun Fact: The Great Northern Railway Company was the first people to build tracks that go underground, so the trains could drive directly into their warehouse.もっと詳しく

Exploring York

Had a day wondering around York, visited Yorkminster, went to the market (got some plums so I don't get scurvy), the York Castle Tower, the Castle Museum, saw a comedy circus street performance, had a tour around the Treasurer's House, visited thr Jorvik Viking Experience (think its a small world viking version) and finished the day relaxing in the park.

Fun fact of the day: York Castle Tower is home to the world's first flushing toilet, built for King Henry 3もっと詳しく

Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness
2023年10月9日, スコットランド ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Day 1 of Scotland Tour

Went for a sunrise walk of Edinburgh before getting on my bus for the first day of my Scottish tour. Visited the Highlands Folk Museum (with examples of the buildings the people of the Highlands lived in through the centuries), the battleground of Culloden Moor, and the Cairns ancient burial sites. Finished the day at Loch Ness, where we are staying right on the shores

Fun fact of the day: Loch Ness has enough volume that if you had a time machine and took every person that ever lived, you would have enough room in Loch Ness to store them all.もっと詳しく
