A British vacation (but I'm also going to Japan)

[rbjhan]

We went straight to the Crown Jewels...


Wow I did not know that there's a people-mover (airport style) next to the jewels....

Tower Execution


Royal Mint
Oh this is funny...

 

[rbjhan]

Medieval Palace，




Ravens


Nice view from the walls

 

[rbjhan]

The White Tower


Apparently this belonged to Henry VIII






This was maybe mid-day? Inside the White Tower it was packed to the rafters....
Lucikly there's an exit in Level one....

And the queue to the jewels were looooong!

 

[rbjhan]

Booked lunch at Le Pont de la Tour, so we crossed the Tower Bridge...


Nice view but I was not a fan of the food!

 

[rbjhan]

Blackfriars Station


Got off at St Pancras....


Now where was I going?
The British Library!

 

[rbjhan]

There's a reason I came here: Magna Carta!


Lindisfarne Gospels！


Henry VIII's Great Bible


Codex Sinaiticus! OMG look at the Uncial

 

[rbjhan]

Ah yes, probably didn't mention it before, but I'm a calligrapher
The British Library was probably the one place I was most looking forward to visit!

My uncial


The script is not exactly the same but close enough.
