Tube.  We feel like we have conquered this beast. We can read the map, find where we need to go and actually do it. Bus ride.  It was a hop on, hop off tour today. We hopped on and then sat in some traffic. We did see a lot of sights and it helped us realise how big London is. The history here is incredible. Bits of Roman wall sit in places where you walk. 55AD. Like ... what?? The Tower of London.  This was our first tourist stop. It was hot. 31 degrees hot. The lines weren't long though.

We weren't too sure what to expect, but clearly, they had spent most of the money and energy on designing the outside of the building. It was still very large and had some lovely features. The dome was particularly stunning. There was a whole mass happening in one corner, and you couldn't even hear it. Amazing how these old churches were designed to accommodate multiple things happening.   We discovered that the crypt was included in our pass, so we thought we would head down to discover it. Some of us were a bit nervous at first, however, we soon discovered it w
