• I also eat beef

    Today we took a walk down some more streets named after monopoly locations before ending up at the Tower of London.

    We began the visit with a tour from a Yeoman aka a 'beefeater' he was a entertaining fellow who gave us a thorough understanding on the history of different areas of the castle and it's ground and without sparing any of the bloody details. We perused the crown jewels, the weapons and armour museum in the white tower and stopped for a chat to one of the tower ravens.

    After spending a few hours back in time we headed across Tower Bridge before checking out Borough Market - which was insanely busy so we decided to skip the market food and made our way to the Twinnings store.

    We sampled some teas then headed to our accommodation before for a very very late lunch.

    We found an app similar to uber eats where businesses list mystery bags of food that haven't sold throughout the day for a very reduced price. So we decided to try this for dinner, we got a mystery bag and it didn't contain food poisoning! It had a baguette sandwich and two pastries.

    Phill was in the mood for more history so we made our way to the cinema where we watched Napoleon. The movie was good, though they didn't leave much room for a sequel. After a short and cold walk back to our apartment, we washed some clothes in the sink and did some more planning.
