Day Six, London, England
|
|
 |
 |
| The famed fortress, The Tower of London. We came with Syd to London to see the Locking of the Tower ceremony. This happens at 9 p.m., so we had the afternoon to explore. | We parked near the Tower Bridge. I wanted to walk out on it, so we did. |
 |
 |
| Tower Bridge, in all its majesty. | Walking toward the bridge. |
 |
 |
| Syd is about to enter the first supporting arch of Tower Bridge. | I wasn't the only one. Everyone wanted to walk out on Tower Bridge. We discovered we could to up into the towers and walk between them for just eleven pounds. Exciting~ |
 |
 |
|
A lift took us to the very top floor of the tower. Above were only the girlders of the roof.
|
The walkways were built between the towers to that people could cross the bridge even when it was up for boats. |
 |
 |
| We walked both crosswalks between the towers. We went up one tower, and came down the other. | The crosswalk meets the tower. |
 |
 |
| Viewing windows were left clear for watching the Thames and taking photographs. | The mighty Thames flows through London. |
 |
 |
| In the second tower, plaster figures worked on the girders. This photo looks up to the very rooftop of a tower. Note it is all steel. The stone outside is decoration. It does not support the tower. | Bob and Sy confer on the bridge walkway. |
 |
 |
| After the bridge, we strolled in London. | A Victorian postbox. The modern ones are more geometric and plain. |
