Day Three: London

We spent this morning at the Tower of London Castle/fortification. Lovely views of Tower Bridge and great time exploring famous aspects of the Tower like the Crown Jewels, torture chambers, armory, mint, ravens, and beefeaters. A couple of us met Beefeater 409, Scott Kelly, who is apparently on Instagram and was hilarious.

After that we did a brave thing and split the group so one group could do King’s Cross and the London Eye and the other did Borough Market, the Globe, King’s Cross, and quick shopping. Both go to try riding a double decker and the Tube and got a variety of experiences. Win: no one got cut off on the Tube! But both groups did experience one absolutely packed ride. We met back up at All Bar One for a great dinner before seeing Wicked at the Apollo Theater. It was amazing and hands down the BEST experience so far for quite a few students. One said it was the best thing she’d ever seen in her life and many were practically giddy. It was a fantastic end to FULL day and our time in London.
