Day 3: The Bloody Tower

We started off this Sunny Sunday strolling down Victoria St. on our way to Westminster Abbey for church. The service and the atmosphere of the cathedral were wonderful, and the organ was amazing to listen to. After the service a group of us hopped on the tube and traveled to the Tower of London. There we were led on a tour by a Yeoman Warder aka a Beef Eater (look up Beef Eater Gin). He led us around the tower showing us Traitor's Gate, the bell tower, the White tower, and the lawn on which the executions of King Henry VIII's wives happened. After the extermely informative tour, we all went and saw the crown jewels (which are decorated in flawless diamonds and stones). Other exihibits included armour worn by the Kings, the torture chamber, the bedroom and office of the king, and walking along the wall. We then walked across part of the Tower Bridge, and made our way back to the hostel for the night.
