We started our last day in London going to the Tower of London…
Got to see the crown jewels…
And the armory…
Michael finally got to see a guard somewhat up close…
Picture of the Tower Bridge from the Tower of London…
For lunch, we had to grab some fish and chips…
We then took a bus down to St. Paul’s Cathedral…
We climbed 500 billion steps to go to the top of the dome (then came back down those steps). Guess it was worth it for the views…
There was a small viewing window down to the floor from the top of the inner dome. It is the very small square at the top in this pic…
We then went to our final place to visit, the HMS Belfast…
Stephen had to take a timeout in the brig…
That concluded our time in central London so we grabbed two more pics. This is the Tower Bridge…
And this London Bridge. For all you Yanks who think the Tower Bridge is London Bridge, you are wrong. To be honest, I learned this just the other day our our Thames river cruise. It has been rebuilt several times so I guess technically it has fallen down.
Tomorrow we get up early to head to London City airport which is on the other side of London. Our first flight is from there to Edinburgh Scotland. Then to Washington DC, then to DFW where we will spend the night before driving home.
Yep…I think the London Bridge is in….Arizona!
Safe travels home.
I remember being thoroughly disappointed with London Bridge! Looks like an awesome trip.
Great final day! Have a safe journey home. Love to all!
