Tower of London

After a rest day yesterday, we got back into the tourist mode today. This morning we purchased the tickets at a reduced price on the web and after a good start with a fortifying cooked English Breakfast, we got to the Tower of London just after 10am. 

We spent the next 4 hours exploring. We saw the Coins and Kings exhibition, the Crown Jewels, the Fusiliers' Museum, the White Tower with armour and weapons exhibits. We also had a look in the Bloody Tower amd then walked along the wall. It was very interesting to learn about the history here and there were lots of tours and people in character to find out how life was like here back in the day.

Feeling a tad hungry we went to Brick Lane to get a curry lunch from one of the many restaurants here. We then rolled out and took the tube to The Monument of the great London Fire. From here we walked over London Bridge and made our way back to the apartment to recover
