Our Saturday agenda in England was two events . travel to and visit the London England hawaii remote vacation rentals Temple (which is in Surrey, outside London) and then return to London and visit the British Museum. We accomplished both activities and a few more...and had a lovely Saturday!
The trip to the London Temple would be an adventure in itself .taking a subway, hawaii remote vacation rentals transferring onto a regional train, and then taking a taxi to our final destination. We made it to our destination with only a few hiccups along the way.
We disembarked at the correct stop but unfortunately we boarded the wrong train to journey on to the temple. Fortunately we quickly realized the error and so we exited on the next stop. The agent in the small ticket office was very kind to explain that rather than wait 30 minutes for the next train we could walk to another train station close by .
We only had 2 hours to explore, so we stopped at the Information Desk and picked up the list of top 10 exhibits to see. They were located in different areas of the museum, so we got to see much of the museum just by walking hawaii remote vacation rentals to each of the top 10.
The Rosetta Stone contains a decree by King Ptolemy V in 196 BC. It is written in three "languages" . Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic (another Egyptian script), and Ancient Greek. Since all three passages contain the same message, the Rosetta Stone provided the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs .
The marble sculptures (marbles) were brought from the ruins of the Parthenon to England in 1806 by Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin. The sculpture panels seen above were located in a band around the top of the Parthenon.
walked over to St. Paul's Cathedral again, this time to check out Paul's Cafe a little place a friend in Texas had told us about. In fact, my friend Cindy sent us 3 single-spaced pages of ideas for touring London. Her experience and advice from living here was priceless. We just need to return in order to take advantage of more of her great ideas!
It was just closing when we arrived at 5:57, but we were able to purchase hot chocolate and a fantastic eclair. We enjoyed our treats on the steps of the cathedral as it was the closest place to sit down.
