Half the group, plus the Korean group chose the London Eye.
The views were spectacular.
London: Natural History Museum
On Sunday we went to London. First we visited the Natural History Museum. We started in the Dinosaur Galleries. We saw the skull of Tyranasaurus Rex (T Rex) and other skeletons from over 300 millions years ago.
A reconstruction of a T Rex nest.
The skull below is between 200 000 and 300 000 years old. It was found in Africa. It was one of our ancestors!
This book is called «On the Origin of Species» wriiten by Charles Darwin. Darwin pioneered the theory of evolution. This book is a first edition: 24th November 1859. Below, you can see his statue.
Sefali and Carmen are looking at a fossilized tree trunk. It was beautiful.
Winchester and the Round Table
After Avebury, we visited the ancient city of Winchester. 
Winchester was the capital of England over 1000 years ago. We visited the cathedral and the tomb of Jane Austen, the famous 19th century author. Patricia (above) knew the titles of some her books.
Later we visted the remains of Winchester Castle now called the Great Hall.
The castle was mainy destroyed in the English Civil War by the republican army of Oliver Cromwell.
In the Great Hall hangs a huge round table which has connections with the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The table has been hanging on the wall for over 500 years!
Avebury Ring
On Saturday we visited the 6000 year old neolithic stone circle of Avebury Ring. It is the largest stone circle in Europe and one of the most mysterios.
El sábado pasado fuimos a Avebury Ring.
It was a very long journey to get there but it was a nice place to have lunch.
