Harlaxton Day 9: Arrival at Harlaxton

Hello, greetings from Harlaxton,

After making the most of our time in London, all of us reluctantly packed up and went back to the bus to depart from Nutford House. Today, it was a double-decker bus, which was a welcome change. Some of us were even lucky enough to have two seats to ourselves. Most of us slept until the nine presentations started. We learned about Lord Byron’s love life, then went through the British Education System and British Sports, and ended with the Characteristics of a Manor House. After this, we went promptly back to sleep.

When I woke up, I was greeted by one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. Everyone was in awe of the amazing architecture. Then finally, we got inside, put our bags up, and then started a tour.

In our tour, we got to see the beautiful interior of Harlaxton. With the expansive rooms and elaborate architecture, there was a lot to take in. The castle was actually made for a man named Gregory Gregory, and in some fireplaces, architecture from tombs was used to make it. We even got to explore a secret passage!

After our tour, all of us ate dinner. A couple of other people and I decided to explore the grounds, and with all of this exploration, we ended up at the gym. After this, we went back into our rooms, studied a little for the quiz tomorrow, and then all went to bed for some much needed rest.
