We had a bit of a sleep in this morning – making the most of the comfy house. Roberta went into the London to catch up with Michelle. I went in at 11.30 am via bus and train and met up at Leicester Square.
From there we went to London Tower. This is the 11th century fortress built on the Thames that used to be the Royal Palace as well as a prison. When it was a prison, its prisoners were usually executed at Tower Hill, just behind London Tower. We did a tour through the fortress with a Beefeater (you know the guards that so distinctly give you the image of England). We walked through the chapel, the armory and saw the crown jewels – which were spectacular. Once again, I was also disappointed in the fact that one family, who are meant to act as leaders, are just so loaded, too such an extent that what we saw today could be used to wipe out anyone’s national debt and then probably hand out some money to its people. It would be nice if I could just enjoy what I saw and feel the way I do sometimes, but maybe that helps me appreciate it more.
We go back to the McCallums’ and they had cooked a lasagna for dinner. Another creature comfort to enjoy.
We also had our photos developed today, all nine rolls, so most of the evening was spent going through those and reminiscing. All the photos turned out great and I can’t wait to put them together in an album.
