The 3rd of Oct
Today we went to lots of places. First we went to The Tower of London. It was a really fascinating place and we spent a lot of time there. You could have easily spent all day there. It was a lot bigger than we expected, not just a fortress with a tower in the middle but actually heaps of different buildings. The crown jewels were really amazing. It was really neat to see them right up close. All of the crowns and the biggest diamond in the world. Mum brought herself a ring and now she keeps telling us she has some crown jewels!!!
After we finished at the Tower of London we walked across the Tower Bridge which is right beside the Tower of London. We also saw the shard building and later in the day we saw "The Gherkin" We spent about an hour and a half at the "London Dungeon" and Rachel got burnt at the stake as a witch. It was really fun with a log flume in the dark that sends you down backwards, a 4D movie and a freefall drop ride at the end.
We were totally knackered and worn out with mega sore feet by the end of today but managed to walk our way to St Pauls Catheral at about 6.30pm only to find out it had just closed! That was it for us - back on the tube (that was so jam packed at rush hour you could hardly breath let alone find a space to stand). We were so tired by the time we got home we just had a bacon sammie and went to sleep! Another fun day in the city that really does never sleep.
