So. Winchester Cathedral today. Yes, it's nice. Amazing amounts of detail. There it is. Not much to say. If you've been to one I'm sure you've been to them all. Still, totally worth the trip. And, despite popular misconceptions, I didn't burst into flames as I passed through the entrance.
Winchester is also a really cool little village with a bustling market. The military museum, however, is quite empty. We weren't sure if you were supposed to dress up and pose with the exhibits, but it was just too tempting. Similarly, you're likely not supposed to lay down on tombs to have your picture taken, but we just couldn't resist. Thankfully it was a Wednesday so there weren't too many tourists around the Cathedral.
In other news...Pubs: Awesome. Thanks to Bren for suggesting Wetherspoon pubs. It's tough to stay sober now! If you are drinking at a Wetherspoon pub, it's pretty much the same in Canadian dollars as drinking inside a Canadian liquor store...Except you can drink pretty decent English beer. I counted the beer taps today and there were 27! (Char is drinking a 550ml Newcastle Brown...2GBP or about $3.15 CDN). And of course, the entire excursion was captured on over 140 CCTV cameras as Britain is CCTV crazy.
