Hi all!
We’ve been having the time of our lives! And we’ve done tons of walking! I may not walk for at least an hour after getting home from England. (Actually longer… I’ve got a nice blister on my toe, and the chaffing I referred to earlier has gotten really bad.)
Tuesday, we went back downtown. We’re in Mill Hill, a northern suburb of London. It’s about 40 minutes by train and “tube” (subway) to downtown London. And it’s a 10 minute walk to the train station.
By the time we got to downtown, the area around St. Paul’s it was 12:00 noon. We had hoped to tour the cathedral then climb it’s dome. We climbed the steps at 12:02, and they had taken the last tour for the day because there was an event scheduled.
So we wandered over to the Imperial War Museum and spent the afternoon there. I was fascinated, as I knew I would be, by all the implements of war. Then, we went through their Holocaust exhibit. We left afterwards. That was too intense, but an experience everyone should have at some time in their lives. We know it was bad. We know it was beyond any words to describe how horrible it was. And then one visits a Holocaust Exhibit, and one realizes that it’s even worse than we thought.
After, we wandered up to the Thames, and rode on the London Eye. That is incredible! Even for an acrophobic like myself!
Today… not sure. We’ll figure it out as we go.
