Ok, am feeling like we haven't stopped moving unless we are sleeping.



Day two,

Tower of London, loved it and hours spent there.

Tower bridge over the top. Kasey loved it, mainly for the stickers

London bridge terror tour, now I didn't expect it to be a full on horror tour but it WAS!!!!!

Bad bad mother! We ended up being escorted through on a huge adventure with our guide Finn getting Cooper to assist in kicking down doors!

Am hoping they dont remember exactly what they saw(lots of bloody bodies).

To be honest it is what they have loved most so far.

They have been really really incredible, usual in fighting and punch ups but overall no complaints, they have soldiered on and on, today is the record so far, over 14 km and pretty much on the go except for a couple of minutes here and there sitting on the tube, for a total on 9 hours today.

Today started at St Paul's, amazing roof! Glass mosaics. A real feeling of wonder, didn't get to climb to the top (there are a lot of things undergoing a refurbishment due to the Queens diamond jubilee and the Olympics). We did get to climb the whispering gallery.

Then check out and check in at Waterloo, re group and off the Globe theatre then on to Westminster Abbey, made it with a couple of minutes to spare as entry stops at 3.30pm. A big contrast to St Paul's, much more clutterand and a feeling of it not being a church for everyone, more a church for those elites. Interesting to see the Tomb of queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of scots.

Then realised I forgot about lunch, so grabbed some food and ran off the Hamleys, toy shop in Regent st, 250 yrs old, Lego figure of Kate, wills, Harry and Charles, a highlight. Cooper managed to find some birthday presents. left there and headed off on the sacred quest for Coopers excalibur ( read a Swiss army knife), we walked and walked, finally finding the biggest and best huntsman pocket knife at ........ Katmandu!!!!

From there it was about a 15 minute trip back to Waterloo, via Sainsbury for breakfast supplies and the local Chinese for dinner.

Room hot, yes hot. So will see if we can move tomorrow, other wise room very big and location good.
