Early On Saturday morning we departed for London. We arrived to beautiful weather and after checking in to our hotel, at lunchtime we then headed off to visit the British museum and then did an extensive walking tour of London, taking in the river, parliament, buckingham palace and back through Leicester square to covent garden. On Sunday we visited HMS Belfast, the refurbished imperial war museum and then the natural history museum. The first two being integral to our course in 20th century history. The quote of the trip was then given to us by Franco. In his words,"
