I went to the castle today with the History Society. That's actually an old picture--I didn't take any new ones today. We went an hour before closing, because that gets you a £1 entry to the general exhibits. Inside the castle is a really random museum. Some parts make sense--they have an exhibit on Boudica, the queen of the Iceni who lead them in revolt against the Romans (She even had Nero contemplating withdrawing Roman troops from Britain!) and one on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, plus an art gallery of Norfolk painters and from the collections of Norfolk residents--but most didn't make much sense at all. There was a section on Egypt and a natural history portion with stuffed lions and a polar bear and a rhino. It was cool, though, and I had a good time. I hung out with people I had met on the pub crawl and got some suggestions on where to go in Barcelona. Anyway, I'm off to read about the rise of Wessex, so have a good evening, everyone!
