My Last Day in London

Today we went to the Tower of London, which is right beside London Bridge. The Tower of London was once used as a prison and people got beheaded there and that means getting your head chopped off! It was freezing outside so luckily we went to the vault first and that had the Crown Jewels in it. We saw the Queens crown and lots of other crowns from other kings and queens. They looked really heavy and were all covered in jewels. At first I didn't know that they were real but dad told me that they were. Once we had seen the whole tower we walked along the Tames ( which is the river that runs through London) to St Paul's Cathedral. It was a huge church and the ceiling was a colourful dome. Next we walked across the millennium bride to the Tate Modern art gallery. There were things there that you would not even think were art, but I guess in a way anything can be art (e.g a pile of bricks on the ground). But there was a famous painting by Monet called the Water Lilies which we saw. What an amazing time in London. A whole new experience and now I am ready to face anything that Paris chucks at me (LOL).

  1. Hey Caitin it looks like you're having a great time. How's the weather? Is it still snowing and if it is have you made a snowman? At school we are doing a change scenario and we get to make a movie. The class misses you and we carn't wait to see you when you return.
