London

The first place we actually traveled to away from Bognor was a day trip to London. We went up there early the first Saturday we were there on the train. The trains were so easy to use over in Europe, and you could get basically anywhere on the train. On that first trip we went right to the British Museum as soon as we go into London. We found the architecture to be amazing! The building were so different than we have over here, even in the lesser areas of London they were beautiful!

The British Museum is free to go into, and it is also one of the largent museums in Europe. We did not even get halfway through it! I have a picture of am old fist of a statue they found burried somewhere with my fist on top...the fist islarger than me, so I can not imagine how big the rest of it was!

We then spent time walking around London, and evenyuallt ended up at Harrods Department store. This is the World's largent department, all designer things, and very classy. It is owned by Princess Diana's fiencee's Family, Dodi Fayed. There is an exhibit there that has her enggement ring on display (which is huge) as well as the glasses they drank from the night they died, and a picture of the two of them. I think she will forever live with how much people still morn over her. There were things to buy EVERYWHERE with Princess Diana's face on it. There were also many memorial spots all around Londo where people still left flowers mourning her!

The last thing we did for the day was take the train down to Wimboldon. We wanted to walk around there and see some of the tennis courts. The town is a VERY wealthy town, with very large houses. We were able to see some of the outside of the tennis courts, but not the insides.

We didn't get back to Bognor till late, but it was well worth the trip, and throughout the course of us being there we went back many more times!
