Okay, so these pictures are a little bit out of order, but I will get you through it. You can start at the top this time! :)
So today being our last day in London, we wanted to make sure we did and saw all of the things on our "to do/see list". The London Tower and the Tower Bridge were two things my mom wanted to see, and I really wanted to get my picture taken with the man with the funny black hat. We set out this morning after our continental breakfast and headed east. Most of the tubes were down for construction, so we ended up taking an hour for a 15 minute journey. But hey, we got to see alot of different underground stations that we hadn't seen yet.
We ended up over by the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London first. Amazing!
This is a shot of part of the Tower of London. A huge castle building that was the first royal castle built in England. It is most famously known for the executions of famous queens, kings and other related noblemen and women.
Here is a look at the Tower Bridge.
Another shot of the amazing castle.
Look at me. By a castle! A real one!
We took a guided tour of the castle led by a Yeoman Warder-one of 26 that live, work and exist on the castle grounds. Even his family. Amazing.
This is a shot from inside the castle, in the Bloody Tower where the prisoners were held. This is looking out of the window of one of the cells where prisoners spent years and years of their lives. And this was a sunny day!
I found my funny hat man! They don't have the ones that you can go right up to anymore. I heard that the tourists were getting too touchy feely if you know what I mean.
Here is one of the little boxes that the guards stand in!
Kodak moment #236
The sunset was amazing as we left the castle. There is so much to this place and so much history there. You could spend days there and not get to hear about everything. If you ever get the chance to go to London, this should be stop #1!!!Now we're headed home!
I miss my family terribly and cannot wait to be with them again!
