Ok, you have to read that title with a British accent. I LOVE British accents. They make words like bloody sound so cool!! Anyways, I made it into the city to visit the Tower of London. I seriously had zero clue it was like a small city inside, so you can imagine my instantaneous loss of direction when I walked in. I managed to follow the signs to the true bloody tower and learnt all these fun facts about people going into the tower, and never leaving it. The recent discovery of Richard III's remains had me reading up everything about which led to his rule, which curiously enough was imprisoning his nephews in the Tower of London... Never to be seen again... Until they discovered a chest filled with two small skeletons in a renovation. Lovely right?
In other news, when you visit the Tower of London, you HAVE to do the Beefeater tour. It is seriously fun. The Beefeater I had leading my tour was hilarious and made sure to distinguish that those who went into the Bloody Tower were murdered, but the ones killed on the lawn RIGHT outside the tower were executed... Apparently there is a difference...
Love, Alison
