The 6th Beatle - or just a wannabee?
Went down to Abbey Road and walked in the footsteps of the Fab Four. It was quite surprising as there were no markers or indicators of the crossing which featured in one of the most recognizable record covers of all time. We took our pictures next to the Abbey Road road sign just to prove that we were really there. We also spent a lot of the day at Westminster Abbey where it was fascinating to see the markers and graves of so many people we were taught about in high school history. Oliver Cromwell, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Victoria, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill and many more are buried and immortalized in this church which is steeped in over a thousand years of history. The architecture a
nd sculptures are truly a marvel and well worth seeing. We also had Twinings Tea in the cloisters of the Abbey - how English is that? Also today we went to Westminster Cathedral which also has a long history and great architecture. Finally we spent some of the day riding around on the double decker buses viewing the sites/sights of London from the top deck whilst sheltering from the rain which was pouring on and off throughout the day. Yesterday we visited the Tower of London where we saw the gruesome history of England in its full glory and learnt all about the many beheadings. We also visited Parliament House, Buckingham Palace (where the lights were on upstairs), Trafalgar Square and All Hallows Church. Finally we walked through St James Park and took pictures of the many frolicking squirrels.
