22.12.2011 – Thursday day 3
One word… Brilliant. Started the day at Marble Arch & Hyde Park then took a seat on top of the big red tour bus. Despite being the warmest day here since we arrived (12 degrees), the wind was chilling sitting up there but a clear blue sky and rooftop views made it worthwhile. We got off at St Pauls Cathedral to have a squiz but being the tight asses we are refused to pay an entry fee of 15 pound each to look at some statues of Jesus and the like!
After opting out of St Pauls, we ducked into a coffee shop to warm up and thaw out (free WiFi again, loving!). After a bucket of coffee (literally the largest cup I have ever seen!) we jumped back on the bus and headed to the Tower of London. We took advantage of the free guided tour, saw some amazing crown jewels that would put any womans diamonds to shame, and loads of armour suits, guns etc etc. The history in the old Castle is amazing and our tour guide made sure to give us all the tales of torture, beheadings and hangings which kinda gave me the creeps.
Next stop was Buckingham Palace where the guards put on a bit of a show for us, but really there’s not much to see… it’s just a big building with old fancy gates. By this stage of the afternoon (3:30pm) the sun was starting to set and I was absolutely freezing! Headed home for a hot shower and off to the Prince of Wales Pub for tea tonight.
