The Acton Press Wednesday March Terrific fantastic holiday in England ARRIVING back from England United Kingdom diary from school trippers to be in England now that Aprils there words by Robert Browning sum up very well the thoughts of the students who returned from the United Kingdom last Sunday afternoon when we arrived at Airport on Friday March we stepped out of the piano into a beautiful green world of spring The weather In London averaged in the while Edinburgh was cooler but just as beautiful After the six hour flight with little or no sleep we took a bus or coach as they say to the Hotel in London Tour London The afternoon was free so most explored the area around the hotel and visited a few of the shops along the way After supper at the hotel our coach driver Ron Fielding to whom we ell became very attached along with a tour guide took us over London on a very Informative tour His explanations of the history of the kings and queens of England in relation to the places we saw was Ballinafad brilliant but our appreciation at that time was a little short of ecstatic since we had lost one nights sleep That night England set the clocks forward one hour tor their daylight saving time which robbed us of another hours sleep Open market By the following morning we had nearly regained our normal composure and took an early morning jaunt down to which on Sunday mornings offers the public an open market where painters antique dealers and all sorts of craftsmen sell their wares on its five miles of sidewalk Upon our return we took the coach to Kings Cross Station and boarded the train for an eight hour ride to Edinburgh Once In Edinburgh our group spilt Into two sections In order to ac commodate all us in the two hotels The Metropole and the Guest House These were lovely old homes converted Into hotels with very nice rooms After a late supper which was enjoyed by all we settled into our rooms for a much needed nights sleep Tour castle For our first full day In Edinburgh we found the weather cool and a little misty but it cleared up by noon hour We drove throughout the and arrived at Edinburgh castle where it was shown to us In its entirety In the museum of war articles there was a showcase of medals and awards won by Canadians many of whom were in the Toronto Scottish Regiments The cannons and balls around the walls of the Castle were huge and the well fortified In one of the upper rooms were the crown Jewels of Scotland other precious jewellery and a belt worn by Mary Queen of Scota all of which had been locked in that room for centuries The only time these Jewels can be moved from the room is when Scotland has its own separate King and Queen once more Leaving Edinburgh Castle we visited Holyrood Palace a beautiful building with great paintings and lavish rooms then on to St Giles Cathedral In one small chapel of this building we viewed the seats of the Knights of the Thistle The room was covered with delicate hand carved wood and angels at the top of the door frame playing the bagpipes The purpose this symbol was to dispell alt evil spirits and to make sure that when these Scotsmen die they will be greeted at the gates of heaven with music then granted entrance This was a morning tour after which we had lunch and then a free afternoon Most of went shopping on Princes Street where one could buy most anything The money system was pounds and pence as in England New pence Since the K is on the new pence system where pence equals one pound and not on the old shilling system It was easy to learn That evening most of the group went to Tiffanys which is a discotheque in downtown Edinburgh The music was designed to suit everyones taste being a mixture of rock and classical It was very entertaining and a great way to end the day To be continued next week By Doris Fines Terrific and fantastic are some of the words used by the High School students to describe their weeks holiday in England They
