London day 2

I just thought it looked cool

I just thought it looked cool

Well today started out much better….  Well Kinda…  I woke up and had to swap rooms, as somehow they gave me someone else’s bed..  poor guy let me sleep there too.  So i quickly shovled everything into my bags  and stumbled to my new place down the street @ 7am, which i might add only has 4 beds opposed to 10, and is a  bit nicer.  I am now on the 3rd floor of a building from the 1500s… which was actually used as an inn back then for waiting on stage coaches…  Neato huh?  If i see a ghost ill be pissed.  My window sees out onto the alley and the bar, which is where the wifi is…  I get it from my room … so thats really nice as well.

Anyways… Today i mainly spent my day at the tower of london… Really cool old place…  I didn’t even have to ask for directions as i found it yesterday by acident LOL.  I have got pretty good at the subways though… I even had a tourist ask me how to get somewhere (he thought i was a local) … and i was able to help him out.

The tower is where the crown jewls are kept… and by my luck the vault was open to tourist today and i got to see them … pretty cool.  Also saw the changing of the guards, a tourture room, and plate armor…  It was about this time I figured out i left my camera’s memory stick in the laptop last night.  I ended up finding a shop that sold them within a 10 min walk… So nothing too bad.  I had to walk through the whole place taking pictures again, except in the areas you were not allowed.  Like that church yesterday…  I had to purchase a permit to take pictures… lame.

Here are a few quick pictures…  Im currently trying to get an online photo album going, once i get that together I will post it so you guys can look through everything!!
