Followed Christine’s suggestion, we waited outside the Military Tattoo ticket office in the morning. YOOOO!!!! We were lucky that we bought two tickets with good view finally.
Before seeing the Tattoo, we went to a place where became attractive nowadays ~~~ ROSSLYN CHAPEL. Believe or not? Dan Brown mentioned that Jesus’ wife was buried there. Of course, I don’t believe him. Da Vinci Code is just a novel. Christine described that it was a STRANGE chapel. After visiting it, I agreed with her entirely.
Arrived the chapel, I found that the roof of it was covered by some metal supports. At the beginning, I thought that it was under reconstruction because they earned some money after the publication of Da Vinci Code. However, Christine told me that it wasn’t for reconstruction, it was for protection. Since the chapel had been built around 600 years ago and the stones are melting now so they have to put something above to protect it from rain or sunshine.
Inside the chapel, there were cravings everywhere; the faces of some angels were strange. To me, the cravings were in excess that dazzle my eyes. All in all, it was worth seeing.
Then, we went to the Royal Britannia which took Chris Pattern away from HK on 1st July 1997. It was not impressive but memorable.
The key activity today must be the Military Tattoo. Excellent performance!! Especially the drummers from Switzerland. They threw drumsticks and used them to make a lot of patterns. The last instrumental ensemble and march took my breath away in astonishment.
