London is not too shabby. The city is filled with history, great architecture, and plenty of people. Our day started by ridding the tube (metro) to Tower Hill. Tower Hill is home to numerous executions and sits right outside of the Tower of London, which was built around 1060AD. While at the Tower we were greeted by the Beefeaters. Not the gin, but the actual guards to the Royal Family.
Next we headed to Westminster to see the Westminster Palace, London Eye, and Westminster Abbey. The Abbey looked nice from outside, but it was a little busy and too expensive. I figured I would spend my money elsewhere like Tattersalls Tavern. I decided to head to this pub after finding out one of my friends use to work there. It has great lunch specials and numerous choices for beer. I happened to try Landlord. It's an ale that has a clear color and is extremely bitter. This is not one of my favorites by any means.
After Westminster we headed to Harrod's to pick up a new addition to our caravan. His name is William the Conquerer (the bear pictured on the right). I have decided that everywhere I go William the Conquerer will appear to make his presence known. Since London is one of the first stops he is joining the trip in the nick of time. If you have any suggestions for where we should take pictures of William, please let me know below in the comments section. By the way William the Conquerer is the first King of England who built the original Tower of London. I hope you like the new addition.
