The first stop of the last day was in Bath. There, we saw the Royal Crecent and then walked through a portion of the city which from over head looks like a key, known as The Circus. From there, we walked to the Roman Baths.

Day 11 - The Last Day
Happy 4th of July! We started our day with our tour guide telling us that even though we won the revolution we still pine to be a part of the UK because we play Pomp and Circumstance during our graduation, which is also the English national anthem.

Day 9 - Lake District
Starting off, we took a quick tour of Glasgow in the morning. There really isn’t much to see in Glasgow because so much of the city had been torn down in the 1800s and replaced with new structures. We mainly looked at George Square before the tour moved on.
Culloden Moor has to be one of my favorite spots. I think I would compare it to visiting the battle field of Gettysburg.
On our way out of Edinburgh, we drove over the Forth Bridge, which is one of the two bridges we just saw last night at the restaurant where we had dinner. We first stopped at the ruins of the St. Andrew’s Cathedral.

Day 6 - Edinburgh
A new tour guide took over for the day to give us a tour of Edinburgh. Much of the city consists of buildings that date as far back as the 15th to 18th centutry. Many of them look like they are made from black stone, but in reality, these were blackened by soot from coal, commonly burned in fireplaces and stoves around the late 18th century.

Day 5 - The Haggis
Our Trafalgar tour of Great Britain started today. We already felt content with all we had seen in London, but the trip is still just beginning.

Day 3 - Last Day In London
First, we need to talk about one of my major concerns whenever I travel—bathrooms. The loos around here are exceptional. Even the public ones are clean. In the parks or near other public monuments the loo often has its own attendant on duty continually working to keep the place clean. Amazing. Get a clue America!

Day 2 - London Tours
Today was another busy day. After breakfast we jumped on a bus tour and took a trip around part of the city before hopping off to take a short walking tour over to the see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace.
