Fabulous day touring London today on the top of a double decker bus. Several people suggested, and we agreed, that it would make sense to get a hop on, hop off bus pass that would give us the layout of the town and then we would pop off. We rode around for about an hour and a half on the top, outside sort of, no heat until we reached the tower of London and hopped off with frozen feet and faces. We popped into a local pub and had a great lunch with mulled cider before setting off a tour of the Tower. This was great fun seeing the jewels and the rooms where many famous people were held, many of those being executed in the courtyard. It was fascinating. From there we hopped onto a barge on the Thames that delivered us back to Westminster just as Big Ben was hitting 4 pm. Of course, Geoff sought out the captain of the barge and learned a bit about the boat,of course.We walked back to the hotel from the Thames as the moon rose behind us, bright and orange over St. James Park.
Now, after a spot of tea, we plot our evening activity!
