Sights and museums

Hello everyone,

our trip to England is now already some time past but I can still remember a lot of moments in Bournemouth and London. In this blog entry, I want to tell you about the sights and museums we visited during our time in London.

Tower

On Friday the 4^th of April we went from Bournemouth to London. In the evening, we had the “Jack the Ripper tour” but first, we went to see the Tower of London. It is a really amazing building and I am very sorry that I have not seen the Tower Bridge because I and some friends did not realize that we had to go around the tower. But nevertheless, I was also already impressed by the tower’s back side.

On Saturday, we went to Globe Theatre and on the way there, we were also able to see Big Ben and London Eye. Unfortunately, we only had the time to pass London Eye.



During our free time there, we had the possibility to buy some lunch, or in my case, to visit St. Paul’s cathedral. It is a really beautiful building and so we took a lot of pictures there.

On Sunday, we went to the British museum. We had two hours to look around and I have to say, that there are really a lot of interesting relicts from many different countries.

In the afternoon, we went to Camden market and afterwards we walked to Buckingham Palace. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed because I expected it more impressing and I was also very sad that I did not see the change of the guards. Even the guards have not been there.

After visiting the Buckingham Palace, we went to see some other famous sights, for example Westminster Abbey. Therefore, we made a bus tour to see more sights, but I was not able to see anything except wet streets.



On our last day in London, we had the opportunity to choose between three museums, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum or the National Gallery. I decided to go to the Natural History Museum. At first, we had to wait for ages in a very long queue but it was definitely worth it because when we finally got into the museum, it was really amazing and very interesting. Most of all, I liked the big dinosaur in the entrance hall.
