Tower of London

Tracy and I had a lot of very dirty clothes and a whole lot of extra (dirty) shoes we no longer needed to lug around, among other things, so we decided to take the morning to do laundry and ship stuff back to Canada. That was an exercise, but we managed it all done in the morning.

Before heading out for the day, we signed up for the free dinner the hostel provides each night (they also offer free breakfasts).

We headed to the area near the Tower of London, and had lunch down there, then spent over 2.5 hours touring the Tower of London. The crown jewels are kept here too. The Tower of London was founded in 1066, and has been expanded by kings and queens over the centuries. A lot of history here. After 2.5 hours, we still hadn't seen everything, but oh well.

We walked across the Tower Bridge, and walked along some of the riverfront, then stopped at a casual place for a drink before heading back to the hostel for the dinner at 8:00pm.

Dinner was very good (pasta), as we chatted with other backpackers from around the world.
