Westminster Abbey

 

Today was Westminster abbey and the Tower of London. On our last trip, we were unsuccessful getting inside but today we made it! We opted for the “guided, behind the scenes” tour and glad we did. What an amazing place and full of dead people…literally.  There’s 3000 people buried in the floor and no more are allowed since the space has run out.

Then it was on to the Tower of London.  This time we decided to ascend the staircase inside which was 200 stair steps…it was like driving the speed limit with people passing you but we made it to the top.  Lots of weaponry and stunning engraved armor. 

Since we still had some daylight left to headed to Leadenhall to see if Harry Potter was there shopping.  Then since we hadn’t tortured ourselves enough, we walked to Harrods for our reward…cream brûlée.

Tomorrow is a train ride to Birmingham to watch a horse show and see some friends. Good night.
