London

Our day in London began with souvenir shopping.  London has wonderful shops and is a very nice city to visit.  We then boarded a Hop On Hop Off Bus for a city tour.  We stopped at St. Paul's Cathedral on the way to the Tower of London.

At the Tower of London we learned how to fire a medieval trebuchet.  We saw the site where the infamous Henry the 8th had his wives beheaded and examined the Crown Jewels.  We enjoyed a fabulous tour given by a "Beefeater" guard.  These guards were know as "Beefeaters" because part of their salary was paid in beef, a precious food reserved for the elite.

For our grande finale of touring we took a cruise on the River Thames .... Great views of the London Bridge, Big Ben and the London Eye.
