london continued


Here is my London post for the day. Most of these are at the Tower of London. The Tower is where many of the Kings of England lived, including Henry VIII. The Tower is also where Ann Bolyn was killed and a couple of his other wives too. Before and a little after Henry VIII was King, the Tower was used as a prison. I have more pictures from the Tower, but it was a different day, so will be included in a different post. We got to the Tower this day just after it closed. It sucked, but it was such a beautiful sight, that it made it worth it. We walked out of the Tower tube station (the tube is their underground transportation system... it is AMAZING!) and there is the AMAZING view of the tower (it is the first picture in the post). And there is also this sun dial that has different parts of England's history at each number around the dial. It was pretty cool too. Enjoy!



The second picture is London Bridge... I have better pictures of it. They will be in a later post also. :)



This is just a cool monument that was across the street from the Tower. I thought it looked pretty fancy. :)
