6th of April: Beheadings and Rollerblades.

Hello Everyone,

Despite my utter exhaustion from a very busy day - I am continuing to fulfill my BEDA obligations - unlike a certain someone going by the name of JESSICA MARY-ANNE ANNE MURRAY!!!! Haha, Who did a mighty fine job until day six. Five days Jessica!!! And then you had enough hahaha. Good effort though - I hope this is just a temporary slip up and not a complete project abandonment! Anyway - some travel stuff today!!!

Today I went to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and had SUCH a great time. I Love the Tower of London so much!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for so I was very excited. I got an Audio guide which is, upon reflection, perfect for me because I get to do stuff as I want and therefore I don't have to miss anything because a group isn't interested or whatever. Its so fun! I saw the Crown Jewels and was very happy with the time I got in line - as it wasn't as long as when I got out! The line was just at the museum when I jumped in because I thought I should before it got too long - and by the end of it it was so far down the hill that it was almost at the arch way entrance. Crazy.

My favourite part of the Tower was all the Lady Jane Grey history. I've had a fascination with her for ages and I'm really glad there was quite a bit on her. They had additional things to listen to on your Audio Guide and I'm glad I listened to them cause there was a really long one on her and I was very happy! It was funny how crowded anything to do with Anne Boleyn was though, all the American tourists were crowding around and talking about the "The Other Boleyn Girl".

Hehe - The first thing they show you is Traitors Gate - and it was so funny because a little ducky had wandered in from the Thames and it was so cute. He was like "Oh... Hi. Fancy seeing you all here." It was adorable watching him squeeze through the gate hehe. AWWW so sweet. I love that duck.

When I saw Tower Bridge all I could hear in my head was "Dum, dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum dum". Now i know that doesn't work via Blog, but in my head its amusing. It was like all I could think was that song - and every time I turned back to look at it, the song would start again. Hehehe.

Overall it was a lot of fun and completely lived up to my expectations. Its definitely my favourite thing in England so far.

After all that I went to see Big Ben AGAIN, because I need to take photos of it because my camera card ate them. On the way there I saw a lady wearing Rollerblades! I haven't seen anyone rollerblade in public since the 90's. It was great! After Rollerblades seriously lost out to skateboards they just haven't been pulled back out of the closet. Good on her for getting them out again! No knee pads or elbow pads though - very disappointing.

I wrote down some other stuff I wanted to write in here on my phone. Its so funny - I keep writing down little moments that happen so I won't forget to write it here. Hold on while I grab my phone, Blog readers.

Oh oh! Lucky I wrote it down I completely forgot! I got mistaken for someone who actually knew what they were doing today! Someone asked me about the Tube Lines and which ones were down and how to get places! And you know what, kids? I could actually tell them! Perhaps I sent them off into the wilderness - I'll never know. However, for the purposes of this Blog we will conclude that it was successful! Hooray!!!

I think I might sign off now due to exhaustion.


Until tomorrow xx


Attractive: Slipping obscure references into every day conversation that only you get.

Unattractive: Beheading. Though I'd prefer to be Beheaded than Burnt. So perhaps burning too.
