Well today was another fabulous day here in London. I am so glad that I came on this trip. We went on a bus tour throughout London and got to see a lot of things. Among these are shops and lots of museums. The shops were all the high end fashion shops like Burberry and Prada. We then drove past harrods. I am going to buy something! Then we drove past the London eye which was broken. But rumor has it that we are going on saturday instead. I think it'll be sweet ! After getting our tour on the coach. We headed to the Tower of London. This was built during William the Conqueror's reign. Inside were the crown jewels. A few of tried to plot a plan to steal them but I don't think we would have made it out safely. We got to see the armory of all the previous kings. Their armor had so much detail. It was amazing ! We got a short tour by the beef eaters. Our beef eater did not really like me because of my Manchester united pullover. He is a Leeds United fan. Therefore there was some hostility there. He made me zip my coat up before he started the tour. I was spectacle at first but he was legit and wouldn't start until I did. He made several comments how he hated Manchester united. But I am a fan so no worried and I didn't get beaten down so no worries. The dungeon were tools of torture was closed so that was rather disappointing. After the 30 some of us gathered outside the tower we got our first experience on the tube. This is the subway for people who are state side. This was interesting traveling with 30 some girls who have no true idea where they are going. We got on the wrong train of course. This was not due to "the boys". We just did what we were told. I heard this was the right way to do things. But we eventually got on the right one due to the manly sense of direction. Our next adventure was at the play "Noises Off". Most of us from what I gathered enjoyed this one a lot better than the Shakespeare play we saw previously. I was able to stay awake. And it was rather comical. After the play we ventured back toward the hotel and stopped at "The Swan" for a pint. Then eight of us went to the casino next o the hotel. It was awesome ! We got to play for free because we had no idea how to play roulette. Though we didn't really gamble we still had tons of fun. I'm sure we will be back to play for real next time. After this we hit the sack in order to get some shut eye for the next day. Til next time...
Cheers!
