It was expensive, so we did the ceremony of the keys, which included free entry into the Tower. The ceremony was cheesy, so I liked it and Eric didn't. :)<BR/><BR/>St. Paul's was definitely a 4 in my book, maybe even a 6. The climb was a bit much, but I enjoyed the outside views more than the whispering dome.<BR/><BR/>Harrod's, yeah, skip it. I think we spent about 45 minutes inside, and most of that time was trying to get the heck out! It was insane.<BR/><BR/>We didn't do the Globe tour, but I would really like to see a play performed there. Since it also wasn't play season, we just skipped it but took some pictures of the outside.<BR/><BR/>Westminster Abbey = awesome. I also really enjoyed seeing the markers for the composers and writers that were buried in the Abbey. Very humbling experience to see all those important people in one resting place.<BR/><BR/>I also really enjoyed the British Library. Not sure if you went there or not, but it had some pieces of the Magna Carta (I think the rest of it burned, as it seems everything in London does a time or four), original Bibles and dictionaries, original Alice in Wonderland, and some original compositions and scores by sweet composers to name a few.<BR/><BR/>And last, but certainly not least, I would have to give "Wicked" a rating of 1,000,000. Yes, one million. Of course, that is with Idina. Without Idina, maybe only a 500,000. But still, if you are in London, go see "Wicked!" Make haste. The end.AVHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431000040972614559noreply@blogger.com
