After a fine breakfast at ‘Chateau McCafferty’, we head to London via rail.
What a great walking city. An early stop is the Tower of London where there is a moving exhibit, the ‘Poppies of Remembrance’. From July 17th until November 11th (Remembrance Day), they are placing ceramic poppies in the moat around the tower. When done there will be one for every British soldier who died in WW I (888,246). We wander past Traveler’s Bridge; Traitors Gate; Monument; caught a bus to Trafalgar Square; took Buckingham Palace tour; cut through Hyde Park; checked out Russell Square & Bloomsbury; rode the London Eye; walked over the Westminster Bridge to Ben, the Houses of Parliament; and dined at a Weatherspoon pub.
