The tourist hot spot onslaught continues. First stop today was the Tower of Tack also known as the Tower of London. We spent waaaay too long there and didn’t even find the torture chamber until the very end - by which stage we too were feeling a little tourtured… Then on to the Tower Bridge including a tour of the engine rooms – very impressive (Ray we will email you some pics). About 15 minutes later the bridge opened so we struck it lucky today. Tommy we shot this photo just for you :-) Next on to the Tate Modern for lunch & a quick peek, then continued down Southbank and took in the Aquarium. Skipped the London Eye today but hope to have a go next week. Then across to Jewel House (across the road from Parliament), Westminster Abbey, hang on Westminster Cathedral, no that’s not the one, back to the Abbey again – made it in by 8 minutes before they shut the doors & just as well! We were both blown away by the Abbey – an overwhelming experience for us both. Managed to navigate our way home on the local buses, we’re getting the hang of this place now. Tomorrow we are off to Edinburgh by train so both very excited not to mention looking forward to putting our feet up for a few hours! Hope to keep blogging while in Scotland, facilities willing, so keep an eye on the blog!
