An eye, a fort and a squirrel.

It dawned cloudy and wet. My body clock must still be out because I woke right up at 4 am, didn't go back to sleep for ages.  After our cheap, walking day yesterday, we decided to spend money and go inside things. We bought a hop on hop off bust ticket, which is quite expensive, but comes with commentary and keeps you out of the rain while still being able to see London. The trains a fast and cheap, but you are blind to the city. We also got tickets for the London eye and the tower of london. We bused and walked to the eye, and were on it at 11 am. It goes for 30 min. You can see a lot, and it is out of the rain, and you can take nice photos. But for the money it's not the best value. Although, you can find landmarks on some tablets they have there, and read about them. Then we jumped on a cruise which came with the bus ticket,  and went up the Thames to the tower bridge, that was really good. Then we were at the tower! I had no idea what the tower was. It is more of a fort. Very boxy with a lot of walls. We spent 4.5 hours there, and it felt a bit rushed at the end because we had to make the bus back. It is really interesting, we got the yeoman tour, it sleeted (although it was mostly a sunny day there were spots of hail) we saw the crown jewels, I went past them about 5 times, we spent 1.5 hours just in the White Tower, which is most of the museum. It was amazing to see Henry viii armour and lots of other stuff. Also, we saw some historical drama on the grass, and had lunch in the armoury place, which was really good. The first food here I actually took a photo of. I wish I could post photos from today. It was really photogenic. And so much detail, liked a lot of graffiti carved into the walls by prisoners. The place reminds me a lot of Port Arthur, they are similar in beauty and presentation of penal history. Anyway, our bust went to Piccadilly circus and we wanted to change to the route that goes near our place but due to confusion we missed it. Piccadilly circus contains M&M world! And I bought half a kilo of m&ms for £10, in the colours of my choice from a wall of mix and match colours. Probably not a sensible purchase, but it was so fun. So then we had a long walk home, but it was the same as yesterday, and it's a nice walk. And walking through green park (so called because it has no flowers in it because it is taboo to plant flowers on mass graves and they buried lepers there apparently) we saw a grey squirrel run down a tree and onto the grass. So much yay. So the we shopped at Tesco, cross that off the list as well. We got some orange juice which turned out to be cordial. And Easter eggs on special. Food can be quite cheap, a nice lunch in a tourist spot comes to under $10, right now I am eating a dinner of a tesco pre made chicken pasty for about 70p on special. However, meuslie is expensive, or at least we cant find the cheap stuff. We also found our way home without the map.  Tomorrow, more riding on buses, museum of London, Matilda the musical.
