London - Arrival | |||
Pearson International Airport: Terminal III. Toronto, Canada | |||
Adam and I left Canada aboard a 9:15 flight on Tuesday May 13th and arrived at Heathrow after an extended flight and a decreased night; we both got about 20 minutes of sleep and proceeded to visit the Contiki office at The Royal National Hotel like zombies. Since we couldn't check into our room until 2:00 GMT and we landed at 8:00 it left us a lot of time to stagger around London. We decided to visit the Museum of England, as admission to all national museums and monuments is free. Bellow are the pictures. | |||
As part of the UK's millennium celebration they enclosed the main courtyard of the museum, granting more space to the already expansive museum. | Not only is the new roof functional it is also awe inspiring. | ... Also it allowed the buildings in the main courtyard to be restored and then be protected from further decay. | One of the nice things about being one of the first nations to attempt to colonize the world is that you get first crack at all the good stuff. |
We spent a lot of time, well I spent a lot of time, going through the far east section. | Check out this procession of statues! | ||
Check how they blended the circular national library and the rest of the complex. | The English also pillaged Egypt. | Open up this one to see all the hydrographics on the tomb. | |
