8/19/2018 0 Comments London Day 2Today was our second day in London and the final full day of our tour! We began our day with a walk along the south embankment as we headed to The Globe Theatre for a wonderful tour of this painstakingly researched recreation of Shakespeare's theatre. Our tour guide Antony, gave us some wonderful insights into the world of Theatre in Shakespeare's time. We also learned a great deal about how performances have changed over the years and the way in which the Globe attempts to be faithful to Shakespeare's original intentions. After the tour of The Globe, we split into a number of groups, some to shop, some to sightsee and some to attend the Choral Eucharist at St. Paul's Cathedral across the Thames. The grandeur of this building and its famous nine second acoustic make it one of the most spectacular aural and visual sights in the world! After lunch in the Cathedral Crypt we boarded the bus for The Tower of London. The tower of London is one of the most iconic of the historic sights in London. We enjoyed taking the tour of the castle, as well as visiting the Crown Jewels, the Beaufort and Bloody Towers and the torture chamber. It was a very interesting visit and we all left with lots to think about.
Our final event of the day was a celebratory dinner, with everyone dressed in their finery. We reflected on our accomplishments, which have been many and on how proud we are of the choir for their mature behaviour throughout the trip and for their excellent singing! We all have a great deal to be proud of with this choir, a choir which we can now say is one of the three best of their kind in Canada!
