8/18/2018 0 Comments London Day OneAfter a wonderful night's sleep we all boarded the coach to head out to the great city of London. Our day began with a tour of Westminster Abbey, a building of monumental proportions, with an even more monumental history. Inside, we had a wonderful two tour which took us into some forgotten corners. We had a chance to see the poets corner, and the burial places of musicians like George Frederich Handel, Charles Villiers Stanford, Henry Purcell and Edward Elgar. We also saw the monuments to Churchill, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking and Isaac Newton. Following lunch at the Methodist Hall Café, we walked through St. James Park, to Buckingham Palace, where we had a wonderful tour of the State Rooms and learned a great deal about the history of the place. Unfortunately, the Queen was not available to hear us sing, but it was great fun any way!
Dinner was found at the wonderful environs of Covent Garden Market, where we sampled food from a wide variety of countries and sources! Many of us congregated outside to watch the world class buskers perform. All in all it was a wonderful day!
