May 24th, 2011 - London

We ate breakfast at the hotel and then took the tube to the Tower of London.  It was amazing to see and even more amazing hearing all the tales from our Beefeater tour guide.  Lots of beheadings, torture and war.  Then we stopped and had lunch at a local pub/cafe.  Laura had to use the WC (water closet) - it was miniature - she had to straddle the toilet just to shut the door!  Then we toured the National Gallery museum for free - it was neat, but we just aren't art people.  Afterwards, we walked out to Trafalgar Square and watched a street performer on a huge (7 feet tall) unicycle.  Then we people watched for a while on the side of the fountain.  After we left there, while looking for a Starbucks (surprise!) we came across Benjamin Franklin's house.  Then we took the tube home to change for Wicked Musical.  This time we already have our tickets and know where we are supposed to go!  We went to Victoria a little early and stood outside a pub for a drink.  The musical was very well done and we both enjoyed it.  Then we headed home to sleep after a very long, full day.
