Day 3 London

Day 3 of London

 
Today we had a better sleep and woke up ready for our day.  We caught the metro to Tower Hill to see The Tower of London. 
 
 
 
 
 
The Beefeater told us a bit of history about the tower, especially about the torture and beheadings that took place there a long time ago.  It was really interesting and disgusting at the same time.
 
We walked through a few different towers and saw the Crown Jewels of some of the present and past Kings and Queens.  The Beefeater told us that the jewels were owned by the Commonwealth.  Because Australia is part of the Commonwealth, that means that we own them......OMG, we're rich!!!!
 
After the tour we got an ice cream and later that afternoon we went on a train to Warner Brothers to do a studio tour of the making of Harry Potter. 
 
 
We got to see all of the sets including the Great Hall and Diagon Ally. 
 
It was really amazing to see all of the sets, props and costumes and we even got to ride a broomstick like Harry Potter did.  This was an awesome afternoon!

We got home quite late and we are all exhausted.  It is our last night in London and we are really sad, but excited about going to Paris.
 
Good night peeps x
