This week we also went on the "Unseen Camden Night Tour." Again, as freezing as it was, it was a really interesting tour, led by a formally homeless man. It was really eyeopening to hear a story of a man who was homeless just because he was working at the wrong place at the wrong time, not because of personal choices. The recession hit hard, and even people who were well off before became homeless during it. This tour of Camden, which takes you around some 'hidden' areas shows you a lot of Celebrities houses and famous restaurants visited by Celebrities. We also saw this amazing view of the city!
The other important thing about the tour is that it is only given by formally homeless people, as a way for them to make money.
On Friday, I went on a tour of Bath! Wow! This was so interesting and amazing to see. The museum took us through the baths and ruins of an ancient Roman city. It is incredible to see what they were capable of way before access to any technology. At the end of the tour, we got to try the mineral water. All I can say is there are definitely a lot of minerals in there. Ick. According to the Romans, however, the water is supposed to have magical curing powers...so maybe it was worth the awful taste.
Here are some photos of Bath!!
