On Day 12 we went to Dover Castle That’s all we really did because it’s 2 hours there and 2 hours back, plus it’s a huge castle with a lot to see. In addition to the many battles they fought there in the 11th and 12th centuries, they also used it during the Napoleonic Wars and during World War 2 as an evacuation point. There’s a bunch of tunnels under the castle that are pretty cool. On a side note, I have never walked so much in my entire life.

And then, of course, we got stuck in traffic again. We had to get off the motorway and go through little towns to get back to Oxford, and stopped in Henley-on-Thames for upscale pizza.

On day 13 we went to London for the day. We went to the British Museum to look at the Rosetta Stone and old statues and mummies. Also, I did a little dance on film. We also stopped at a comic store outside and I picked up some back issues of stuff my local comic store don’t seem to ever stock.

We made our way to The Globe Theater (a recreation of Shakespeare’s theater) and did the tour. The woman who plays Astrid in Fringe was on our tour, but we decided to leave her alone and let her enjoy her tour. We walked across the Millennium Bridge to St. Paul’s Cathedral, but they were having a service and we didn’t need any more jesus, so we walked down to The Coal Hole for some Steak and Ale Pie. It was mighty, and I found out that I don’t like rhubarb pie.
