London Day 4 - Crazy for You

As I recall, today was a touring & theatre day. We walked over the London Bridge to the Tower of London, then all the way to Hyde Park where we saw people on horseback. I took a pic of them, Peter took a pic of the horse “deposits.”

From there, Peter, not being impressed with my tattered scarf, decided he wanted to buy me a Liberty scarf at Harrods.
