Our first day

Our first day in the UK was one spent in London. We attempted to navigate the tube and, having finally done so, participated in a tour around London that showed inspirations and sets for J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books and movies. It was a great tour called Muggle Tours. It provided fantastic views and fun facts for Harry Potter lovers, such as myself, but also allowed my party to see areas of London we would have never known to visit. Our tour guide was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Below are pictures of the sights we saw. The first is the setting of The Leaky Cauldron in Harry Potter and the Prisoner if Azkaban. The next is a photo of the museum that inspired J.K Rowling to create Azkaban. It is a museum showing in what awful ways the prisoners were treated, in old London. Next is the River Thames. It is only featured briefly in the Harry Pitter movies, but it holds a great view. The following picture is the amazing ship of a real English explorer that inspired J.K Rowling to create the magical Durmstrang ship. There is also the great view of Big Ben that we were able to get along the walk our tour guide led us on. The last photo from the tour is of the real Grimald's place, at which the movie was filmed. It is right near Scotland Yard and was amazing to see. We found ourself in a lovely location when the tour ended. Cecil Court is an alley made up entirely of book stores. It was like heaven for my mom and I, who love books. We thought that the editions of Shakespeare we found in an antique bookstore were amazing. They are shown in the next picture. We finished off the day with a DELICIOUS meal at Rock and Soul Plaice, famous for their Fish and Chips. It was a day that left a great impression of London on us all.
