Day 6: London
Our last day in London and you could really spend a month here and not see it all, but I feel that we did pretty well for being here less than 48 hours. Jessica is still a little under the weather and it has held her back some, but we had a pretty good day.
The first stop of the day was the Tower of London, or the White Tower as it was called in the old days. The tour was fascinating and the relics of nobility from the past were amazing. Jessica enjoyed marvelling at the crown jewels. I personally enjoyed see the White Tower itself and all the armor and arms of the royal guard. We spent about 2 hours here and I would recommend it to anyone who visits London.

Our next stop was Westminster, where we took a quick look at Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Our stop here was brief, as Jessica was wearing down a bit and need to rest. So we hopped back on the tube and returned to our hotel, which was a good thing because I started to have a migraine right when we got off the tube at Earls Court. We laid down for a few minutes to rest.

In the evening, we headed up to the theatre district to see We Will Rock You, a musical based to the music of Queen. Jessica wasnt that big on the storyline and it was a bit cheesy, but I think we both enjoyed the music. It was quite entertaining. Afterward, we we south into SoHo and found a cute little Spanish tapas restaurant and had some tasty Spanish dishes. It was a nice change of pace.
Well, today is another travel day. We hop on the EuroStar at 10:10am, which is a train that will take us to Paris in about 3 hours. Yes, it goes under the English channel for those of you back home who can’t fathom such a thing. I can say as I write this, we have safely passed under and are now in France. It should be fun, brushing up on what little French I learned in school, which is not much at all.
