"Let Us Go Forward Together" - W.C.

Being no tour guides were available today it was left up to us to conquer the streets, tunnels and bridges of london, and we did a pretty good job. With the centenary commemorations of the First World War our first stop was the Tower of London with its 88,246 ceramic poppies . This highly attended show was packed with many from all over the world looking on and pausing for a few moments thought for those who fought for what we have.

Catching bus 25 we were then headed to the British Museum to see the Egypt section but some how managed to get into the Bloomsbury Hotel for a spot of lunch.

Katie had been wanting to see this for a long time considering she has been teaching it for almost 10 years. The Rosetta Stone was a huge draw card.

Once again we were off to the bus and headed to Winston Churchill's War Rooms.  This complex under the government buildings in Westminster were the heart of the war effort and are still in pretty much the same condition as they were at the end of the war.

Crossing the road we ventured into St James Park and had a little Squirrel spotting.

Isn't he cute!!!

Ending our final hour in London we sat outside Westminster Abbey and had a little people watching while resting the feet.

 After returning we were collected by Ross and Emma and had a Mexican dinner followed by a screening of The Inbetweeners 2 Movie, it was hilarious.
