Good ay,
We are really going on a tour, we are going to see most of the famous tour spots in London town.
We're up by 7,make oor way to Notting hill tube station to go to Westminster ,to meet our tour guide whose name was Mark..He is a tall man and strikes me as very knowledgeable person . The tour starts right on time,first stop Clive Churchill statue ,a few facts about things he achieved in life the on to Westminster Abbey , although we had ticket it seemed like every one else has come on the same day,so we line up for 30 minute before we get in.
It is an amazing place gown the in and outside. We entered through the same corridors as seen on the wedding of William and Kate, the funeral of queen Elizabeth and the crowning of the new King. I saw the exact seating of the royal family ,the remembrance stone of people such as ,Oliver Cromwell, Charles Dickens, Issac Newton, Rydyard Kipling ,Lord Byron's,and Stephen Hawkins. There so many historic thing in here that I could write forever . Yes it is old but it is worth you time.
From there we walk quickly to Buckingham Place,to catch the changing of the guard but because of the wait at the abbey we just missed It, Not to worry we walked down the driveway leading to the palace and the guide pointed out who lived in this palace or that house. Then as we were walking the Royal cavalry came up the drive , great photo shot
From here to Trafalgar Square to see Lord Nelson high up on his perch the first man to lead an army to defeat Napoleon,also here was the zero point for all distances travel to any point in the world.Lunch
We return to the tour to take a sail down the river Thames ,we see a young woman being rescued from it as a raging inward tide was taking her further up stream. We were heading to see the infamous Tower of London and the tower bridge (London ) there will pics of both.
Henry the 8th had three of his wives beheaded here ,Ann Boleyn was one of them.,Sir Walter Rally was also beheaded. Off with their heads was not just in fairy tale, Alice in wonderland, it was the real life event for people in that era. We climbed the tower stairs to the top to find where a lot of beheading took place than down to the dungeon where many people were tortured whether they were guilty or not . The tour started at 9 and finish at 55.
that all
see you next blog
love yous all
Shirley and John
