Hampton Court and the British Museum

Hampton Court
Of all the places I visited this was one of my favorites. There was so much history there. It was originally built by a Cardinal during Henry VIII's reign. Henry took it over after he started the Church of England. It was HUGE!! It is said to be haunted and even the tours talk about strange things that happen in certain places. This is where Catherine Howard was before she was taken to the Tower of London to be beheaded.

The Great Hall, tapestries are over 500 years old.

Me and Henry, I thought he was a ghost when I first saw him

Me and Henry's picture. This was taken in the hallway that is suppose to be haunted by Cathrine Howard


British Museum
The museum was really cool. They had a lot of amazing things that the British have "collected" over the years. I am going to go against most of the world here and say that the layout of it was bad. I got lost a few times and had to ask for directions. I recommend seeing it but make sure you understand the map.
