London, Day 4

We tried to fit in as much as possible into our last day in London, although some things were sadly, but unavoidably, left undone.

We started the (very cold) day by touring St. Paul's Cathedral:



We walked up the spiral staircase to the top and got lovely, snow-laden cloudy view:

Then onto the Tower of London!

In the snow, waiting to see the Crown Jewels; on the plus side, it kept the lines shorter

Lots and lots to see there (and plenty we didn't see!); parts of the castle date back to the time of William the Conqueror, so lots and lots of history there.

Then we crossed the London Bridge over the Thames and entered the second half of the day, also known as the part where Dustin graciously indulged my preferences (and I apparently stopped taking pictures).

We didn't have time for both the Tate Modern (my preference) and a tour of the Globe Theatre (his preference; although at this point we were no longer sadden by the fact that the outdoor Globe Theatre was not yet open for performances--brrr!), so we went to the Tate where Dustin indulged my enjoyment of modern art.

And then we headed out to tea for dinner; lots of delicious, sweet carbs were consumed (again, not Dustin's ideal meal, but a good English experience). Yum!

For our last night in London, we enjoyed an excellent, as well as very bloody and messy, performance of "Macbeth," starring James McAvoy.
