London Calling: Day Six

Saturday was not a day to do much. We were all tired from our whirlwind trip to Wales the two days before, so we started off with a proper English breakfast.

This building is called The Gherkin. London is a town of the very old side by side with the very new.


Tower Bridge is really beautiful! I wished I could call the boys to watch me cross on the live video...

After that we drove back home for Fish and Chips!

It was a nice slow paced day. I was still tired, but I couldn't wait for the next day when I was going to tour London's sites.
