Our third day of the trip, and our second in London. We
started out with our first real British Breakfast at Tower Hill - left
Matt and David inspecting the "mega-breakfast": chips,
sausage, egg, beans. Erm... yummy? |
|

Our Beefeater Tour of the Tower of London: As usual, the Yeoman Warder
was a great storyteller, and the tour was very enjoyable. This time
around, we had the only Beefeater who was from the Navy - a retired
Royal Marine.

After the Tower, the group went off down the Thames by
boat to Greenwich, where they saw the National Maritime Museum and
Royal Observatory. Jerry, Charlie and I took the train to King's
Cross, where we found that the ham radio hand-held I had lost on the
Cambridge train was at the Lost and Found (a major miracle), and then
went on to pick up our rental cars at Heathrow. After a two-hour drive
which is best left undescribed, we took the train back into London and
met the group at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. |

We had Groundling tickets - leaning on the stage |
| The performance of Romeo
and Juliet at the Globe was great, although standing for three or
four hours was a bit wearying. As we left the Globe, St. Paul's was on
view across the Thames.
