My last days in London for now, started with an outing, taking the train down to Fareham and Portsmouth,<\/p>\n

looking at an old medieval castle (don\u00b4t you just adore the English countryside?)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and ships, (hm. somethings wrong with the quality of the pictures here)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and visiting friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a last-night spectacular, we went to the Royal Opera, and saw \u201cCarmen\u201d .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And spectacular it was! I\u00b4ve never seen the opera before, but knew much of the music. Once again the set was really good, and the costumes for the gypsies (as seen o the picture) were great. Some of the other costumes were rather distracting for me. I didn\u00b4t like the 1880s bustle-dresses in something that was happening in the 1850s. But I realize I might be too much of a nerd right now.<\/p>\n

The opera in England has a great tradition of getting the art out to the public. The tickets are often between \u00a3 160-\u00a3190, which is way too much for a lot of people. But if you show up the last day, you can get great tickets that haven\u00b4t been collected for as low as \u00a310. That way everyone gets a chance to enjoy culture!<\/p>\n
