Tea Time!

...we entered the United Kingdom. Having exited the Chunnel we continued on to Bath in Wales. Driving on the left side of the road is weird. Very weird. We arrived in Bath and went to the Roman Baths that were left there from when the Romans ruled Britain. It was very intersting there. Apparently the Romans thought that the hot spring was a gift from the Gods and built a temple there to the Goddess Minerva. Today you can't go in the water because it's gross, but the water still flows and you can go right near it. We spent a couple hours there and then we drove to just outside of Cardiff to meet our host families. Deja-vu anyone? Host family number five was just one woman named Angela. She was really nice and a good cook, although since she smoked all my clothes smell like smoke now. On Wednesday we went to Caerphilly in Wales and we went to the castle and then to a beach. The castle was really fun. It was real ruins so we climbed all over the rocks and on the sides of the castle. On Thursday we went to Cardiff and went to another castle. After the castle we were given free time and Amy and I went and had really great sandwhiches at this little restaurant. After Cardiff Castle we went to the Museum of Welsh Life and looked around there for a couple hours. On Friday we drove four hours to London and spent the day touring around. We saw Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, Buckingham Palace, and we ended the day at the London Eye. Having completed our visit of the UK we headed back to the Czech Republic. Now that I'm back here I've only got four days until I come home.
