We started out with a traditional pub close to our hotel. It was awesome. Last time I was in London I was solo so I did not venture out much at night or visit any pubs. So this trip was really cool to get to experience the British Pub. We each started with our version of what the experience should be. Katie and I, fish and chips and peas with a pint of English beer. Kelly, what else, Guinness. It was a cute joint and a great way to start our time in London.
The next day we were off for some sightseeing. We started at the Tower of London. The Beefeater gave us a great tour and history of the place. Such a rich history in one area. I loved it, especially the Traitor's Gate and tyring to picture Anne Boleyn or some prisoner's being brought into the fortress from the Thames River. I am kind of a dork for stuff like that, plus I got hooked on the Tudor's series so it was pretty cool for me.
Then we hiked along the river for an hour past the Globe Theatre and eventually ended at Big Ben. Then we grabbed some lunch and rested up for our night out at Wicked. I could see that musical every day!! it was incredible.
The next day we were off for Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. A trip that took almost 12 hours. It was a great day, some good sights and great adventures.
