Bus Tours are fun when the tour guide is drunk

I am kidding, he was a very lovely tour guide and was sober the entire time. Made lots of jokes on the way, and I was able to see some very prominent landmarks in one compact day. Landmarks like...




Some bridge I can't remember the name of.



Some domed Church I think.


Some Castle that lots of people where imprisoned in, and might hold the crown jewels or something.
Some realllly Big Ferris Wheel.

And finally some big clock or other...
Just kidding! Tower Bridge is impressive and a little harrowing to drive over. St. Paul's Cathedral was amazing. Apparently the architect that built it was commissioned to help design and build the other churches of London after the great fire. He put a lot of thought into his work and it shows. The Tower of London was built to intimidate and control, and it certainly does it. The guide told us that only 6 people have ever been executed on the grounds of the castle, most of the beheading happened in public in the field across from it. The London Eye made for some lovely pictures, but to be quite honest, I am not so sure it is really my thing. My favorite monument of the day was Big Ben. Pictures do not do it justice, the details on the building are amazing.

More pictures likely tomorrow, but right now I have a headache. Until tomorrow everyone.
