Went to the zoo today and now I can't get that song "going to the zoo" out of my head. It's so catchy and simple but yet annoying and frustrating at the same time. For those of you who have no idea what I'm on about YouTube it. The zoo was ok, Melbourne's is better, and we got to ride in a the London cab to complete the London transportation hat-trick of tube, double decker bus and cab.

War memorial was good, holocaust memorial was super interesting and very very sad. We also went into tower bridge today which was good, but not as good as it should've been.

We got our new weekly train tickets and headed off to see the holy of holies, and arrived just in time to jaw a look around the museum, wow, and jump into a guided tour.
