The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s most famous horse race and is truly the race that stops a nation. All over Australia people tune in to watch or listen to the race. All work comes to a standstill for those few minutes (race starts at 3pm Australian Eastern Standard time to be exact). It is a public holiday in Melbourne and considered a biggest tourist attraction of Victoria. (Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria). It is held on the first Tuesday in November each year...

Everything about it was grand and undoubtedly...

The places we visited were Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Roman Baths, Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, Oxford and Christchurch University, City of London and Westminster, St Paul's Cathedral , Tower of London, Cruise on the Thames River and...
