On the<\/span> second part or our travel journal I concentrate on sightseeing. Before th<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>e trip I made a wish that boyfriend would take me to some of the famous castles or palace<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s. Be<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>cause we were travelling in the beginning of march not all the tourist attractions were open. Fro<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>m those t<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>hat were open we chose Hampton Court Palace<\/a>, Henry VIII’s palace and his misfortunate wif<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>e Anne Boleyn’s home castle, Hever Castle<\/a>. We also made day trip by the sea, Brighton<\/a>. Although <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>sp<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ring is early in England already in March, the wind was biting on the seashore and it didn’t make me feel like dipping my toes in the water. Despite the wind I could understand why seaside towns have lu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>re<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> people for holidays since 1700’s. And at this p<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>oint clever readers wi<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ll realiz<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>e that title of my post i<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s inaccurate because Hever Caste isn’t in Surrey: Nope, it’s in Kent. And Brig<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>hton isn’t in Surrey either, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>but in Sussex. It was just much easier to say Travelling in Surrey than to s<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ay Tr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>avelling in Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Most of the time we spent in Surrey anyway. First part<\/span> of the travel journal in photos you find from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HAMPTON COURT PALACE<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ennen Tudor-kuningas<\/span> Henry VIII:tta Hampton Court Palatsin omisti kardinaali Thomas Wolsey.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Palatsia on rakennettu useassa otteessa eri aikakausina ja siksi eri osat ovat erityylisi\u00e4. Palatsiin kuuluu useita muita rakennuksia sek\u00e4 laaja puisto ja puutarha. Puutarhasta l\u00f6ytyy lampia, polkuja ja tietenkin labyrintti jota my\u00f6s testasimme. Ei ihan helppo<\/span> homma. Palatsin erikoisuuksiin kuuluvat eri aikakausien tyyliin pukeutuneet oppaat.<\/span> Ja kunnon historiallisen palatsin tyyliin, my\u00f6s Hampton Courtissa kummittelee<\/a>. <\/span>

Before Tudor <\/span>king Henry VIII, the palace was owned by cardinal Thomas Wolsey. The palace has been built over many timeperiods and thats why different parts of it are different styles. The palace area includes several other buildings and large park and garden. In the gardens you can find ponds, paths and of course The Maze. We tried that, not so easy job. Specialty in the palace are tour guides dressed in different time period clothing. And like in any proper historical palace, Hampton Court is also haunted<\/a>. <\/span><\/div>\n

BRIGHTON<\/span><\/span>
Aikoinaan ihmiset<\/span> tulivat Brightoniin terveyslomalle sill\u00e4 meri-ilman uskottiin parantavan monenmoisia vaivoja. Villityksen taisi aloittaa kuningas Yrj\u00f6 IV joka rakennutti Brightonin kupeeseen upean intialaisvaikutteisen <\/span>paviljongin<\/a>. Siit\u00e4 l\u00e4htien Brighton on vet\u00e4nyt ihmisi\u00e4 kuin hunaja k\u00e4rp\u00e4si\u00e4. Kuninkaallisen paviljongin lis\u00e4ksi Brightonin n\u00e4ht\u00e4vyyksi\u00e4 ovat Laiturit. Suomenkielinen k\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6s ei oikein tee oikeutta n\u00e4ille rakennelmille. Alkuper\u00e4inen West Pier on nyky\u00e4\u00e4n en\u00e4\u00e4 pelkk\u00e4 luuranko. Se rakennettiin 1800-luvulla ja se oli konserttihallin ja teatterin sis\u00e4lt\u00e4nyt huvittelukeskus meren yll\u00e4. West Pier poistettiin k\u00e4yt\u00f6st\u00e4 1975 liian vaaralllisena. Siit\u00e4 saakka sit\u00e4 on yritetty pelastaa, mutta rahoitusvaikeuksien ja haluttomien omistajien vuoksi laituri p\u00e4\u00e4tyi lopulta tuhopolttajan avustuksella pelk\u00e4ksi rautah\u00e4kkyr\u00e4ksi 2002. Entis\u00f6inti\u00e4 on hidastanut my\u00f6s toisen laiturin, Palace Pierin omistaja joka on kyseenalaistanut West Pierin rahoituksen. <\/span>West Pier<\/a> on suojelukohde jota ei saa purkaa.<\/span>

People used<\/span><\/span> to come to Brighton for health holidays because they believed sea air cures many illnesses. First one must have been king George IV, who made a marvelous <\/span><\/span>indian styled pavillion<\/a> for Brighton. Since then Brighton has lured people like honey lures bees. In addition to Royal Pavillion, Brightons famous tourist attractions are Brighton Piers. Original West Pier is just a skeleton of its former glory. It was built in 1800’s and was a leisure center above the sea including concert hall and theater. West Pier was closed for public in 1975 as being too dangerous. Since then people have tried to save it, but because financial problems and reluctant owners it finally ended up into pile of iron with the help of arsenist, in 2002. Renovation has been slowed down also by the owner of Palace Pier, who legally challenged the finance of West Pier renovation. <\/span>West Pier<\/a> is a Grade I protected object, which can’t be demolished.<\/span>

HEVER CASTLE AND GARDENS<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Hever Castle<\/span> oli Bullenin suvun kotilinna jo 1400-luvulla. Bullenin sukuun syntyi my\u00f6hemmin tytt\u00f6lapsi, joka paremmin tunnetaan nimell\u00e4 Anne Boleyn. Ep\u00e4onnisten Boleyn’ien j\u00e4lkeen linna kuului mm. Anne Klevel\u00e4iselle ja 1900-luvun alusta l\u00e4htien Astorien suvulle. Hever on hurmaava pikkulinna. Pienet huoneet tuntuvat kodikkailta ja niiss\u00e4 on esill\u00e4 paljon taidetta, huonekaluja ja muuta esineist\u00f6\u00e4. Linnaan kuuluu luonnollisesti pieni vallihauta ja upea puutarha. Puutarha on parhaimmillaan kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 jolloin my\u00f6s erikoinen vesi-labyrintti on avoinna. Puutarhasta l\u00f6ytyy my\u00f6s perinteinen labyrintti ja amfiteatteri sek\u00e4 Trevin suihkul\u00e4hteen mukaan suunniteltu suihkul\u00e4hde.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hever Castle<\/span> was home of Bullen family already in 1400’s. Later a baby was born to the Bullen family, who is better know as Anne Boleyn. After the unfortunate Boleyn’s, the castle has belonged to amongst others, Anne of Cleves, and from the beginning of 1900’s to the Astor family. Hever is a charming little castle. Rooms are rather small and cosy. There is lots of art, furniture and other items on display. Of course there is also a small moat and the fabulous gardens. Gardens are at their best in summer when the unique water maze is open. You can also find an ordinary maze, amphitheater and fountain designed after Trevi fountain.<\/span><\/div>\n

HOUSE SIGNS<\/span><\/span>
T\u00f6rm\u00e4sin Englannissa<\/span> moniin j\u00e4nnitt\u00e4viin pikkuasioihin joita ei Suomessa n\u00e4e. Yksi alati ihmetyst\u00e4 her\u00e4tt\u00e4v\u00e4 juttu olivat tietenkin maanteiden asfalttiin upotetut kissansilm\u00e4t. Toinen kiinnostava yksityiskohta olivat erilaiset pienet ja suuret talojen nimikyltit. Englannissa monilla taloilla on nimi. Nimet ovat selke\u00e4sti n\u00e4kyvill\u00e4 joko talon sein\u00e4\u00e4n tai aitaan kiinnitetyiss\u00e4 kylteiss\u00e4. En voinut vastustaa kiusausta kuvailla n\u00e4it\u00e4 pikkukylttej\u00e4 pitkin matkaa. Monta upeaa kyltti\u00e4 j\u00e4i tallentamatta, mutta t\u00e4ss\u00e4 muutama. Maatilojen kyltit olivat sitten kylttien aatelia. Monissa oli upeita koristeleikkauksia tilaan liittyvist\u00e4 aiheista.<\/span><\/p>\n

In England<\/span> I bumped into many little things you don’t see in Finland. One thing that always fascinates me are cat’s eyes that are place on the road tarmac. Another interesting detail is house signs. Many houses in England have a name and those are put on display on signs that are attached to the wall or fence. I couldn’t resist taking photos of these pretty signs. Many fantastic signs were left without photo, but here’s some. Farm signs were the royals of the house signs. Many of them had fabulous pictures relating to the farm.<\/span><\/div>\n
