Leah Tours London

well last Tuesday i had all intention of going to Warwick castle however while on the bus to the train station i was cold, it was drizling, and i didn't fancy a 2 hr train ride there and then one back so i though i'd postpone the day out and perhaps make it a weekend that Mel can come on...Ed went to Uni up there so he said he'd come up too...so it should fun when we get around to it.

Anyway i got off at Trafalger Square and walked to Southbank where i strolled around until i got to Shakespeares Globe...so i went and did a tour. it's a complete replica of the original that they have tried to get correct right down to the building techniques and materials used in Shakespeares time...it's all pretty impressive...i really want to go back when they have a performance on...it's £5 to stand in the yard :)

Then i wandered around a little more and came to 'the Clink' which was a small museum built on the site of the original 'Clink' or prision...full of history and it got me out of the weather for 45min. Then i decided i'd go to the Tower of London, but i got side tracked when i got to Tower Bridge and went on a tour that let me walk up on the two pedestrian walkways up the top and then go into the old Engine rooms that drove the bridge mechanisms when it was run by steam.

That was pretty cool... After that i made my way to the Tower of London but i was so exhausted that i gave up on that idea and figured i'd leave it for another time and made my way back home.

all in all a very eventful day!
