Tuesday 24th July
Nice sunny day again. Tube to Tower Hill station and met Caro
and Emily at the Tower of London and
spent all day there. Our last visit there in 2009 was late in the afternoon and
somewhat rushed so we were very pleased to be able to spend time looking all
around the site and at all the exhibits.
Did the tour with one of the Beefeaters, possibly the same man we heard last
time who relishes in the very gory aspects of the history of this amazing site.
One of the interesting
Had lunch in the café on site and I can report it was one of
the best places we have seen on a historic place in UK (tho we have rarely
eaten in them as prices astronomical) in terms of quality of food selection and presentation and surroundings. Also very
nice public toilets and believe me I am
now an expert on these throughout UK and Ireland.
Also further good news that Caro and Emily’s iPad and Kindle
had finally arrived at St Pancras YHA after being lost in security at Frankfurt
3 weeks before and having a trip to Edinburgh before arriving in London.
