Trip to Imperial War Museum and Westminster



Today we woke up and went to the Imperial War Museum, a museum with tanks, aeroplanes and war machines from all over the world. It was horrible because some of them were wrecks and had turned into shrapnel and were machines that caused death but the collection was large and very interesting.

Afterwards we went to see Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster in Parliament Square where we took lots of photos. We then walked through St. James' Park to Buckingham Palace which was very beautiful and glorious. The flag was up so we knew that the Queen was in but we didn't see her!

Fortunately we went to the souvenir shop where Kelvin bought some key rings and Ho Ming got some magnets and some crystals with the scenery of London. Following this we went to the Horse Guards Parade where we saw the guards marching. The soldiers had specially made swords and were dressed very fancy, one screamed at them during an inspection and it was so serious.

When we got back we had dinner and did a quiz which was both hard and easy because it had history but we found the literature section simple because we knew the stories.

We thought it was the hardest day because we walked A LOT but we saw lots of special places that we had never seen before which was good.
