A Tower and Three

Today was an early start. I met Kerry and Emily in the anteroom for the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London. As we were early we rode the travellators several times and had a really good look at the impressive items on display. The Queen's crown was definitely the piece de resistance, with the Cullinan diamond in the front as large as an egg.The rain was a spoiler as we sloshed from the White Tower to the Salt Tower and walked around the battlements with great views of the city and London Bridge. The animal sculptures and displays were well placed. I parted from K. & E. To go the the British Museum to met Naamah ex-HGHS. We had lunch in a pub, The Plough, and then watched part of the Wimbledon Finals. Later we walked on through Russell Square to Leicester Square, Piccadilly and Covent Garden where we had a hot chocolate and went our ways on the Tube. another great day in London.
