March 24: The most touristy day (and we forgot our camera of course)

Hello friends |

The Tower of London too London Bridge

As the championship suggests , this was our epic tourist day.   We started off amongst the Tower of London when they opened at 10am too straightaway joined inwards on a tour led yesteryear an ex-military human inwards sum Yeoman Warder garb.  He was extremely animated , playfully racist , too told enough of interesting stories.  We were led into St Paul's chapel , where Anne Boleyn too Catherine Howard are commemorated.  He joked that nosotros were suckers for paying for tickets into the Tower when you lot tin arrive for gratis if you lot come upwards to majority on Sundays too they naively human face you lot to leave of absence too non wander the Tower afterwards visiting the church.  He said there's a possibility to arrive for gratis on Saturdays also , afterwards visiting the chapel , simply that's commonly afterwards a wedding.  Apparently , almost every Sabbatum without neglect , people bring together to proclaim their dearest on run yesteryear of "two of the most famous adulterers inwards history" (his words).  Idiots.

I didn't desire to hold upwards someone to accept pictures of him , simply he advised that nosotros could human face at him on Twitter.  His twitter is @billybeefeater.  His shout out was William.  I experience similar every 2nd somebody hither is called William.

Before nosotros entered the chapel , he warned us twice inwards a row of tripping over the stride every bit you lot enter.  Before nosotros left the chapel , he warned us 1 time to a greater extent than of tripping over the step.  As nosotros exited , he stood at the door maxim goodbye.  Guess who tripped over the step?  Pro-tip: it was me.

We continued to walk some too human face at an prove that didn't genuinely advertise whatever of its merits , other than it was the longest running historical exhibit.  I intend it was of horses or something.  
I'm the Ravenmaster.  Look at my gloves.  And my raven.

When nosotros looked at the crowned jewels , my favourite was this staff that I champaign couldn't photograph.  It's an extremely fancy Sailor Luna sceptre. 

This lady looks incredibly unimpressed yesteryear the country of affairs.

We wandered along the Thames until nosotros came to the Monument , which Nicholas too Craig climbed piece I had a java downstairs because my arthritis was feeling genuinely bad (pesky Ross River , coming along too punching me inwards the confront correct earlier my trip!!)

Afterwards nosotros went downwards to the Globe , simply my telephone was out of battery yesteryear this indicate then nosotros haven't got whatever pictures.  It didn't stick inwards my caput every bit much every bit another parts of the twenty-four lx minutes menses , except I was shocked that they even then purpose men sometimes for woman somebody parts , truthful Elizabethan style.  A few years agone they had a 37 languages inwards 37 plays , too fifty-fifty represented Maori too Bangladeshi.  It was pretty cool.  Also , you tin even then larn standing tickets every bit a "groundling" for super cheap.  In Shakespeare's twenty-four lx minutes menses it was 1p , simply at nowadays it's v pounds , which is even then pretty practiced I reckon.  The Globe flavor starts inwards near ii weeks then nosotros lucked out.
