UK travels part 1
Hi everyone my name is layan , I'm a college student in Saudi Arabia, today I will be talking about a country I visited, and I hope this post will be helpful for anyone thinking of going on a vacation soon , so let's begin
In 2018 my dad had an order from his boss to travel for three weeks to the United Kingdom for work related matters, and here where the fun started
we all flow to the UK and it was the tirades 12 hours of my life, but finally we arrived to Heathrow Airport and our first destination The fog city London, I can assure you the feeling of arrival after a 12 hour flight is Beyond amazing.
So after finishing all the papers we head to The Bailey's Hotel in London Kensington a really nice 4 star hotel with a central location in an elegant 19th century townhouse in Kensington, the luxurious rooms are just 30 meters from Gloucester Road Tube Stations and Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, the Royal Victoria Museum and the Albert Museum are within 10 minutes' walk of the hotel, also there was a 24 open supermarket and middle eastern restaurant's nearby . When we first walked in, the hotel lounge was amazing with high slings Decorated with golden patterns and the people in the reception where really nice and welcoming . The rooms were large and clean with wide windows and a city view also nice modern furniture and a comfortable bed , I loved every single detail and the whole Experian's of staying in the hotel .
where to go in London?well there is a lot of places to go to but Our first destination is the Hyde park which is one of
London's biggest parks and only 7 minutes from the Gloucester Station the park was really large with huge trees and a wide Green spaces to sit in. there were dogs and even parrots which I was surprised about . we went there with some snacks and drinks and the whether was nice and sunny, the Whole surrounding where enjoying themselves and so did we, after that we walked a little and saw the goose Lake and took pictures, and just spend the whole day relaxing and enjoying the weather and the family accompany .
The second destination was the famous
big ben, The tower was designed by Edmund Denison in 1851 And was the tallest four-faced
tower in the world with a 97.5m height. The official name of the tower was originally the clock tower but in 2012 it was renamed from big ben to the Elizabeth tower.
And a few steps away is the Impressive gothic church Westminster Abby a church designed
by king henry iii in the 13century although it bears the scars of centuries of renovations. Henry the iii built Westminster Abby in 1245 and it was the most expensive building project of the middle ages and it became the setting for coronation and state funerals and tombs of centuries of monarchs poets , architects and politicians and the people how where responsible of shaping the history of Britain ,It was wonderful for me to see the statues there of many important people like Isaac Newton and the engineering splendor of the place was nourishing the eyesight.
Our final distention in London is the British museum the world largest history museum , it
was opened in 1759 as the first free national public museum in the world. Inside of the museum more then 8 million cultural and historical artifact from all over the world which cover 2 million human history, The place was incredible and so big , they were thousands of collections and objects going back to hundreds of years from all around the world that tell us a story of our shared humanity, And show us the beauty and history of those people that lived back then. I personally highly encourage you to visit the museum and admire the beauty of the objects there, it is an incredible place to go to.
