Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London

For this trip, I really have to start at the beginning. There really is no dull moment...

After a long year and a half Abi (my best friend counselor from Camp Bernadette who lives in Kent, England) and I were reunited in London thanks to a 30 euro RyanAir flight! How amazing! I left Friday morning to start this grand adventure. …

It was an easy ride under the ocean and through to the english speaking side of Europe where we were welcomed with open arms (even in our sleep deprived state our senses were heightened to the pleasant sounds of a British accent saying words that didn't sound like Charlie Brown's …

Here ye, here ye... Today shall hereby be named... Ultimate Tourist day!

It's currently 3am London time and the incessant jet lag is leading us to believe writing this to Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire" is the best idea in the world. Don't worry folks, after 15 minutes of attempting... Failure is imminent.

After smashing …

As I write this, we are on a boat from Holyhead (North Wales) to our next stop - IRELAND! We booked a train/ferry trip from London to Dublin for thirty eight pounds each, and being budget backpackers, we expected to get on a ferry resembling a City Cat at best. But as I write to you, we sit on something like a small cruise liner, at the pub end …

Mais um dia com chuva pela manhã, mas logo passou. No horário do almoço fui almoçar com Tony em um Restaurante Italiano perto da escola.
Depois da aula partimos para outra caminhada: London Bridge Tour.
Saímos do Executive Centre ás 16:30 e caminhamos pela Kingsway até Lincoln's Inn Fields, uma a´rea com uma grande praça pública e muitos …

O planejamento era o seguinte: acabando a aula, sair do curso em direção a Covent Garden e passear pelo mercado e lojas e depois seguir para o London Eye e fazer a volta na roda gigante. Depois partir para visitar o Tate Modern, que ás sextas fecha mais tarde, ás 21:00.
A primeira parte foi bem sucedida. Saindo da International House, caminhei …

Best days of my life, nothing else can I say. I wouldn't be able to find such paper which could hold that much information I could give about my impression in connection with London. It has changed my life... , or it will, at least. :P …

I didn't really have a plan when I got up this morning, but I really didn't think that I would be doing 3 major things in one day.

My day started coming out of the Westminster Tube and looking up and seeing Big Ben. Wow!! What a sight that was. I immediately got my camera out and looked for the perfect spot on a crowded London sidewalk to …

... the middle of crazy traffic! We biked along Southbank, past the London Eye, Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London Bridge, Clink Prison, Golden Hind replica (Sir Francis Drake's ship...surprisingly small), and then ...

... . But it's not all stairs and hot classrooms over here. Tuesday, I went on a field trip to the reproduction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre where they have recreated the feeling of an old 1600's theater. It is really cool and I will be going to 3 ...

... was sculptures and sketches still really cool and really fucked up, that guy was crazy. I went and did a tour of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, it was pretty good, a little disappointing though because we didn't get to go backstage or into the green room ...

... fall!  To make sure the legend does not become reality, the ravens wings are cut making them the only prisoners that still reside in the Tower of London. Our Royal Day concludes with a visit to St Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. ...

... , but we didn't have enough time to go check out all the museums there. We checked out the Borough Market and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. That night we went to a Broadway musical, "Wicked" that was the perfect end to our Europe trip! We got ...

... in London was crazy almost died, twice, and today Cliff and I are wandering around, went to Tate Modern Art Exhibition, saw Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and will maybe go to Big Ben and all that shit after this. Hope all is well and hope to hear from ...

... London, the Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, Scotland Yard and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.       Time passed quickly in London. As the afternoon passed, the crowds grew and grew. It reminded me ...

... I found harder to appreciate. The rain began to lighten so I emerged to pass by the rather interesting Millenium Bridge and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. It seems Othello will be playing at the globe while I am in town - hopefully time will allow a chance ...

... afternoon, so we had to adjust our plans to start there, as visiting the Globe was one of our prime objectives. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is not on the exact location of the original Globe, which burnt to the ground twice before the replica that ...

... it started to rain, but thanfully by the time we were done eating it had subsided. We set off to see Shakespeare´s Globe theatre, which isn´t the original because the original burned down. It´s crazy because the theatre looks just like what it would ...
