The Tower was a fun sight to see and it was cool to see the Crown Jewels there too. We walked around a little while and saw all sorts of weapons & a few torture devices used on some of the former prisoners of the Tower. Right next to the Tower of London was the Tower Bridge.
When most people think of famous London bridges, they think of The London Bridge itself (like the song), but this bridge is actually the most famous one here & one of the most popular and unique ones in the world. While Trishia & I were walking away from the Tower Bridge, we heard a boat horn, turned & saw the drawbridge coming up.
The lack of sleep was beginning to take a toll, so we went back to the hotel & I took a short nap. A few hours later, I once again hooked up with Trishia and we went to Piccadilly Circus. This part of London is, from what I understand, famous for being a English version of New York City's Times Square. That was pretty much what it was too, a very busy, very crowded intersection with neon lights flashing and no space to even walk around. After a while of walking around, it was time to get back to the hotel.
Tomorrow is Trishia's last day in London then she is off for the south of France, to the town of Pau. I have truly been lucky to make such good friends during my stay here & I seriously doubt I will find anyone close to as great a traveling companion as Trishia for the remainder of my vacation. I will probably go down and say goodbye to her and then begin my last full day in London. I have seen everything I really wanted to see here and more, which was amazing. Tomorrow will be a day to go around and see if there is anything else I want to see & later I might go have a few beers with a couple co-workers from New Line who are here in London to do a re-shoot for the company. I might even try and catch a European soccer match playing in a pub around the hotel.
