I'll tell you the things I did in London before I leave to Canada. When we got there we settled at our apartment. That morning we walked through westminister abbey where we saw many coat of arms, the tomb of elizabeth 1, even graves right underneath our feet!
We also saw Churchill's war cabinets where I saw maps, typewriters, a 1900's timeline, Churchill's cigar, royal marine guards (fake not real) commonwealth allies (on a map) etc. etc. My dad bought 3 war books for me to read. One was about the M4 Sherman tank another was about airborne tactics, the last one was about the kamikaze suicide weapons. I also went to Downing street where the prime minister lives.
While in London we took a lot of trains. One announcement said that pickpockets operated at the station. As soon as I heard that I became very suspicious of everyone. On Thursday we saw the Tate modern museum where we saw the movie The Itch of the Golden Nit, which was made out of children's drawings. Before that we saw my favorite place, the imperial war museum. We saw tanks, planes and artillery. We went to this area where what it would be like during the blitz (the nazi firebombing campaign), and what it be like to be in a World war 1 trench, well the trench had models of british soldiers and the area smelled like Sulphur. Sadly we did not see everything but no worries we returned and saw the rest today! We also saw the Holocaust exhibit and it was just tragic what happened. On a little documentary Joseph Gobbels (head of the nazi propaganda) was speaking about the Jewish people. I never heard such lies in my entire life!
We are now preparing to go home. I will be really happy to see my family again, but I'll miss the wonders of Thailand, Hawaii, Egypt, Turkey, and England.
This is the Shipley around the world trip, 5 countries, 4 continents, 3 oceans, 2 many flights and 1 BIG EXPERIENCE
