Today we took a boat tour of London. Two days ago we saw advertisements for it and decided to sign up. This boat tour allowed us to jump in and off between 4 different piers throughout the day so we could explore other parts of the city. It also included a ticket for the London Eye, the giant Ferris wheel by Big Ben. We started the cold windy day by doing just that, a 30 minute ride above the city. Then we hopped on the boat and rode down to Tower Pier where we got to see the London Bridge, the Tower of London (a giant old castle), and the Tower Bridge, pictured above. We also jumped into a souvenir shop along the way to grab a few things for family and friends. After that, we rode downt to Greenwich, where we quickly walked through the Greenwich Market. There we each boat a small amount of clothing and other little knick knacks (I can't share until I get home!). We then rode the boat back for over an hour to Westminster where we got a few more pictures of Big Ben then wandered down to a bar to get dinner. Now, after two rounds of drinks, we're headed back to the hostel finally to get another good night of sleep (because we finally did last night). Tomorrow we wake up and check out before heading out to Cambridge to visit our friend Alice for the day. We'll return later that night to stay at a new hostel before a very early morning to catch our flight to Zurich!
