We were off to the Tower of London this morning after our yummy breakfast at the coffee shop below our B&B. Finally, a decent coffee! Again we went through the ups and downs, crowds, etc. of taking the Tube. This time though, I was chastized by someone. No authority figures around, and I took a few pictures of trains and us in the station. All of a sudden a loud voice came over the PA system saying no flash photography is allowed. I guess Big Brother is watching!
The Tower was pretty amazing and seeing where Anne Boleyn was executed was really fascinating. We also saw where prisoners were held and read their graffiti on the Tower walls. Fascinating!
While I was waiting for the bathroom there were school girls about 12 years old in line with me. One was worried about being separated from the others and repeatedly said, "shouldn't we staaay togeetheair?" It was really cute.
We left late and decided to head to St. Paul's Cathedral. They were closing soon but we wanted to see it. It is huge! And beautiful. This is where Charles and Diana got married. Well, we didn't make it in time, but Evensong was going to start soon, so we attended. The best part is that we got in for free and got to hear a men's choir perform as well as a young group of musicians. Pretty cool to save 70 dollars and get to see it!
Back to dinner for more beer (of course) and shepards pie...yum, yum!
