This morning, Walt and I got up to go to the Tower of London. But on the way to the tube, we stopped to get waffles for breakfast. Mmmm MM!
We took the tube to the Tower of London. It was rather magnificent. I mean, it cost us a solid $44 to get in, but it was AMAZING. We spent the entire day there, had a bitchin' tour by Yeoman Warder Ken McGrath, saw the Crown Jewels, saw where lotsa people were held and tortured (yes, including Lady Jane Grey and Guy Fawkes) and did a shit ton of walking. It was great weather. Didn't even rain until later.
After the tower, we texted Beckie so she'd meet us at St. Paul and give us a nighttime tour of Westminster. But first, we ate at Subway. Honestly, American food is still cheaper than European food. And we'd just dropped a cool wad of cash on the tourist attraction of the day, so why not seal the deal with some good ol' 'Merican food. (PS YAY HEALTH CARE!!!!)
Then we walked around. Walked down Fleet Street, and went to this bitchin pub called Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. It was basically in a wine cellar. It was really cool. Walt was drunk. Far too easily. Especially for just after having eaten a whole twelve inches of bread and meat. (not a penis reference)
After our pub stop and our tour around St. James gardens and typical tourist sightseeing, we walked to another pub to meet Matt, who had just gotten off work. We had another half pint and chips then caught the tube home, where we got 2 pizzas and watched Hot Fuzz.
Needless to say, we're fucking pooped. It is nearly 1am here. Time for photo uploading, as I promised, and some sleeps.
Tomorrow: FREE museums and IMAX 3D!!!!!
Oh, and more pubs.
Cheers!
