Okay, time for an update.
I seemed to have stopped rather early on in the trip. Whoops. So let's go back to London, shall we?
Last Thursday, the third day in London (although that first day doesn't really count, since it was just traveling and crankiness), we visited the Tower of London, among other sights.
Heading into the Tower of London, a large fortress with lots of buildings inside, including a building housing the crown jewels (in a rather large vault that we walked around in).
There was also a show going on, which we missed most of and couldn't really hear, but somehow everyone ended up dead. So we weren't sure we really wanted to understand anyway.
There was also a nice sight of the Tower Bridge over the Thames.
After the Tower of London we walked over to St. Paul's Cathedral. Unfortunately visiting was done for the day, but we got there just when people could go in for the evening service. So we went in for free and looked around. We left before the evening service. But there's a picture of the fam outside the church.
Then we crossed the river and headed towards the Tate Modern museum and the Globe Theater, but unfortunately the Globe was closed and the museum was closing in less than an hour. So we saw the outside of both, and discovered the Millennium Bridge right outside the Tate. Recognize it from Harry Potter? We did!
Well we saw the outside of the Globe Theater. Too bad it's not the original one though.
Then we walked the Thames path in the direction of our hotel, and passed the London Eye.
And we passed Parliament. What a beautiful photo op! Me gusta!
