Morning
Tower of London
Visiting the castles, I was welcomed by the Raven Harris. Seeing the Ravens of the Tower of London and getting relatively close by. Almost like 6 kings living there. The highlights of this is the Beefeaters free guided tour. They are really humorous. The two I recall is when they hype up the reveal of the origin of their name, followed up by how they don’t know. Subsequently, they are constantly getting the crowd excited via the mention of how they used to do things, which is TORTURE and EXECUTION while the crowd cheers. Finally at the end of the tour, where they remind people of their name, and if they like the tour, his name is Harry, however if we do not like the tour, his name is Georgie. I felt that it is a unique form of humor.
HMS Belfast
So I’ve always been interested in Warships, when there is a living ship I decided to go onboard. I felt that these vehicles, which we usually only see in video game and pictures, really require a visit to appreciate the scale. Starting from the deck I saw that all the guns are much taller than I am, as well as the other facilities. There are facilities from cells for crimes and things to make living on sea more bearable, to the functional parts such as the gun magazine. I was surprised to find a clothing store on board through. Through I was a little surprised to see that World of Warships have a collaboration, through it makes perfect sense. Since the Belfast is a drivable vehicle in the game. Other things on board a ship that I was not expecting was a workshop for shipwrights, for repairs. As well as the existence of various small pumps to drain water. I felt that the ship is well preserved and all the analog dials and it truly shows how everyone work together to make the ship come to life.
Operation Mincemeat Musical
Now this is the final theatre show I went to, and it is much more worth the ticket funds. To start I was constantly surprised by the changes in the stage. The show is funny and I was constantly kept on my toes. As a musical comedy, I felt it did both well. I like that among with telling us of British intelligence, they took the time to remember Glyndwr Michael, which is the corpse that was used in the operation. It was a really enjoyable dramatization of the real life Operation Mincemeat, and a celebration of British Intelligence.
