Tower of London

HI guys,

Just wanted to say first that we love getting your comments. so please feel free to leave a note. it's nice to know you're looking at our blog! :)

Yesterday we went to the Tower of London in the afternoon. it's another historical, touristy thing and we really enjoyed looking around. As you probably know, the Tower of London was a residence for the kings and queens of England as well as being a fortress and a prison. It is also currently home to the famous British Crown Jewels. One of our first stops was to look at the jewels. They are amazing, so sparkly.

We enjoyed wandering through the little coridors and up the winding stone staircases. It's got quite an eerie feeling really especially with the 'ravens' hovering around.

The tower bridge is just next to it and that is the bridge you can see behind me in the photo. we'll walk across it another day.

The funny man with me in the photo (with the red and black dress) is called a "beefeater." they got that name becuse they used to test the food before the royal family could eat it!

We decided if we go to the Tower again we would do a tour or get an audio guide because there is alot of history there which would make more sense if you had a bit of background knowledge. It would take forever to read all the little info plaques they have everywhere. xox
