Saturday, 08/04/12 dera amer Good in London arrived. All flights and connections worked, all the luggage there, the hotel is conveniently located on the Piccadilly Line, the only Underground, which runs from Heathrow. The London City Guide app from TripAdvisor has proven itself and we navigated prima from the subway to the hotel (not that had always been straight so difficult ...). Hotel clean and nice, only fairly dera amer expensive - we have only just after we had already booked the flight, noted that we are just accidentally to Olympia here. The B & Bs have their prices to Olympia partially quadrupled !! The subway was but bearable, although quite busy. Not as crowded dera amer as in Paris for commuter traffic. Sunday, 05/08/12 First planned station: Cabinet War Rooms Churchill Museum. This time we did not go out of Russell Square, but of King's Cross. Once again in the footsteps of Harry Potter:
At Embankment we got out and wanted to stay nice run along the Thames. Stupidly, everything was closed because of a marathon. Somehow we found the Cabinet War Rooms anyway (I Love My Apps ...) The War Rooms were the headquarters of which has acted out of Churchill in WW2. In addition to the original premises Here is also a museum about Winston Churchill personally. Admission is with 16.50 pounds, although very expensive, but it was worth it.
Then it went seamlessly with military history: the Imperial War Museum. Here the entrance was free - in London it seems only extremely expensive or free to enter, nothing in between. The entrance hall almost looked like my study: these two, I also hang in there, as cardboard models.
... And a Spitfire from the 2nd World War. This is a replica of Little Boy, the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. Shockingly small - and can be as much wreak havoc:
Music Tips for WW1: Cliffs of Gallipoli from Sabaton, on Dardanellenschlacht (incidentally, an unsuccessful plan of Churchill); and Green Fields Of France by Dropkick Murphys (or the original of Eric Bogle). There was, incidentally, a database of casualties from the 1st World War, I have found several William dera amer McBride, but supposedly is the fictitious from the song. More photos:
After that we went first for a coffee. The weather was great by the way, not too warm and dry. Before we decided still to go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, we wanted to visit Westminster Abbey. 1000 years, built by Edward the Confessor. But can not be visited on Sundays from the inside, because Sundays dera amer are church services and prayers. But also makes sure we would not pay anything anyway, 16 pounds. dera amer
But when we got there, there was a yard long snake on the road, and at first to be a half or three-quarters of an hour, when the museum is only open one hour, seemed pointless us firstly and secondly was it us also not worth it. So we drove back to the hotel. Monday, 06/08/2012
At 8 Clock we should pick up the car at Waterloo Station. Until there has also everything went well, we were there on time. Only then we are first forty-five minutes around the station and through gelatscht without dera amer finding dera amer that stupid Budget Car Rental.
Anyway already bad in the time sponn (spinning?) Then even the navigation app around, the Westminster Bridge was closed because of Olympia, and once turning, because we were wrong on the wrong track, and cost again ever time.
After that there were only a few kilometers to Shrewsbury (total now one of the longest scheduled daily stages, dera amer nearly 250 km). We had already decided to skip Chester and two nights to stay in Shrewsbury. In Old Post Office, there was a nice range namely: the second night costs only 10 pounds per person. dera amer We had previously lowered the average to 75 pounds per night, despite the insanely expensive night in London. In addition, we were so late in Shrewsbury and have so long sought a parking lot that we were able to visit anyway nothing today except the beautiful old houses in the High Street. dera amer
In the footsteps of Brother Cadfael, dera amer we looked at the first Castle of Shrewsbury, but only from the outside. The original Castle dera amer was built in 1083 by Roger de Montgomery, a relative of William the Conqueror.
Right where the Dormitory of the monks and other monastic buildings were, today is a road. The monastery buildings were destroyed in 1540 during the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII most.. The dotted lines show how big the monastery was. The bold lines are left.
Then we embarked on a car tour of Shropshire in the footsteps of King Arthur (Book tip: the Arthurian trilogy of Bernard Cornwell). By Baschurch we drove only kur
