London ..chapter 2



Such an iconic view of the Tower Bridge. As you can see the Thames is Yarra River colour! Walking closer, here is one of the pillars and a quaint garden. I met Alan here and we walked across the bridge gazing at it's splendor and great views of the city with it's unusual mix of old and new buildings. Next, views of the Tower of London where gruesome be-headings and torture are renowned throughout history. (While Alan and I were talking of the virtues of remaining respectable citizens, we did spare a thought for Tim at home studying for his exams! )
For some reason I can't add photos at the moment...so I will continue and hopefully put them in later.
Headed passed the Gherkin building, made of glass and gherkin shaped. Saw the amazing Bank of England Building then wandered onto St Paul's Cathedral, just viewing from the outside. Heavily armed police were on patrol, so we continued on our way to do some department store viewing at Oxford Circus. Monopoly makes so much sense now! caught the underground back to home then sat for a little while before going to a little pub called 'The Green Man' (oldest pub in England they say)where we played a quizz game and I enjoyed the most delicious spicy seafood stew! mmmm....best meal I've had all trip I think! and that's it for yesterday folks!
