After we filled our tummies, we headed off to the Tower of London.
There was no need to pay an additional entrance fee since we had our London passes, thank goodness. We visited the bloody tower
(to see medieval torture devices)
as well as the white tower, just to name a few.
One of the most satisfying things was that we got to see the crown jewels without waiting in line for a long time.
What happened was that it was nearing the closing time so the originally uber long line to see the crown jewels was way shorter. My dad noticed that the line, albeit a short one, was still moving, so we thought we’d giving getting in line a go. Luckily, the gate guard or keeper something was really nice and the door wasn’t closed until we and a few other people behind us were let in.
How cool that you are in London! I hope you have an amazing time there! 🙂
Thanks 😀 So far it has been so very amazing.
Welcome to the UK! Am sure you’ll have a wonderful time. Our summer weather has been particularly good this year. Hope it stays that way for your trip!
Thanks, I’m definitely having a wonderful time. The weather is definitely chillier than that of Taipei, but I still find it pretty comfortable. Hope it stays this way too.
I LOVE LONDON!!!! when i studied abroad in paris i actually liked london a lot more and had more fun there in a weekend than i did all my weekends in paris…granted i was there during the olympics but still! so much to see and do and eat! ENJOY!
I’m loving it too. So jealous you studied abroad, in Paris no less. Sounds like you had an amazing experience. Being in London for the Olympics must also have been really really exciting. Starting to get green with envy. 😛 Just kidding, sort of. 🙂
Looks like you are having fun! I was in London last year and I loved it!!
So much fun! London is such a great city!!!
Wow, you are in Europe! I have to read back; are you in London for a long or a short visit? In either case, enjoy. 🙂
I ♡ London, too! Oh, dear my first visit was Christmas week 1996, and have not had the opportunity to visit again since then.
Your pictures brings back great memories.

Really fun. I absolutely recommend it.
