Know who said that? Winston Churchill after the battle of Britain. The RAF had just saved the war for Britain. If they hadn't won the battle of Britain hitler would have invaded as he had planned.
ANYways. The museum was super sweet. They had probably ten supermarine spitfires on display and bf-109s and hurricanes, and b-52s and p-51 mustangs and mitchells and focke-wulfs. I'll stop now. But even for those who aren't enthralled by either world war two fighter planes or my nerdiness can agree; it's bloody cool.
You know what? So was Windsor castle!!!! The coolest part was that the audio guide you get even tells you that people like it so much because it looks like what people think a castle should!
I did the extra tour too! Cmon, it was through the great kitchen. The GREAT kitchen! Like there is one there that is only half-assed!! It was huge! King George IV was a huge collector of stuff apparently and he made it so that the kitchen had all sorts of old copper pots and stuff. They are all hanging in display. Also on display are the old roasting spots from his time. Around 1820 I think. They still use a huge range from queen Victorias time!! The kitchen even has a beam if wood in the ceiling from the 1300s. That is a freaking old kitchen!!!
The rest of the castle was really cool too. I am now sitting in a pub watching the Manchester united game drinking a pint being told exactly what I do not know about football by some English guys. Apparently England won the world cup?? I'll go with it.
Tomorrow is Paris u don't know what time but I should start investigating how to get there and what to do there... Anybody have any ideas???
I don't know if I have Internet there so I will talk to you all soon?
