Kevin's Trip - Day 4 - World Scouting Jamboree & Coventry

We went to sleep at 2:30 last night.  We stayed up watching "Big Brother" a crappy reality show.  We arose, exhausted.  We found some computers and checked our mail.  The tour group met us and put our bags on the bus and we followed.  The breakfast we received came in boxes and was very strange.  I care not to elaborate.  We left for the World Scouting Jamboree, and afterwards Coventry.

The jamboree was good.  Compared to our own National Jamboree, this one had barely anything.  The visitors were restricted to many places, whereas at ours, they are not.  We left for a three hour drive to Coventry.  Coventry is an historic town that was bombed by Nazis during WWII.  It has the typical small buildings that you think of when you think of WWII era Britain.

Our hotel room was much nicer than the previous room and more roomy.  We waited to go to dinner for 8.  The food was okay.  After dinner, we walked over to this cathedral that was destroyed during the Nazi bombing raids.  All that remained were the exterior walls to the building.  Anyway, it was interesting to see a part of history of WWII because it all took place so far away from where we live.  After looking at the cathedral we split up into our groups and walked around town for a little bit and returned to our hotel.  Tomorrow we will go to a ceremony for the 100th anniversary of scouting.
