This was the one thing that I was super excited about for this trip! Mostly because of the Towers involvement with Elizabeth I and how she walked in there practically condemned and walked out one of the greatest Queens of England!! The time she was Queen has often been referred to as the Golden Age! That is how great a Queen she was! So in the tower we hit the tail end of a tour which was being lead by a wonderful comedian, he made some of the most offensive jokes, in good humor of course, just a very amusing guy! We both learned a great deal from that little tour! After that we went to see the Crown Jewels!!! Brilliant, absolutely stunning!!! The history of the jewels alone is spectacular let alone seeing the massive jewels themselves?! What a treat! There were other little areas we could explore including an exhibit about the two young Princes that vanished in the night years and years ago, rumor has it that they were murdered so that their uncle could become King instead of the eldest brother…their bodies were found buried later but it is still a mystery as to who actually murdered them, this may become the topic for my next research paper for my English class!! We also saw Tower Bridge, and the nursery rhymes London Bridge which was less than epic! Who knew it was just a normal little bridge? While literally less than five miles from it was this gorgeous Tower Bridge that has been there for ages! Interesting. Than we finally went out dancing!!! It was fantastic!!! I <3 London!!! xoxo b
