This morning, I decided to visit the Royal Observatory Greenwich. I travelled to Canary Wharf, then made my way south through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. I checked out the nearby Cutty Sark, a British clipper ship on display, before making my way to the Royal Observatory. The museum is located in the middle of a very scenic park, gives lots of history of the observatory, and has several interesting exhibits. I met up with the same buddy that evening in Soho and w...

This morning, I headed over to the City of London and visited the Bank of England Museum. The museum, despite being in a busy area, is kind of hidden away at the back of the Bank of England. The museum was quite good as it gave a concise history of the Bank of England and had some interesting exhibits on display. In may opinion, it was the right size for a tourist visit. I crossed London Bridge and made my way over to Tower Bridge, crossed it and walked by the ...

This morning, I took a tour to Stonehenge. The structure is quite the spectacle and there's an audio tour detailing what's known about the stone circle.

I went to the courtyard and found the cat, who's quite friendly, was still there.

This morning, the group chipped in to take a ferry across the island rather than going back via the bridge we came over on. We made our way down to the Glenfinnan Viaduct in time to see the Jacobite steam train go across it. This train is famous for being used as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. The viaduct itself is situated in a scenic valley and there's also a great view of Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Monument on the other side. We then made ...
