Tower of London


Last Tuesday we went to the Tower of London! It was so cool. We can all out fitted with gloves, wellies, sweaters and brellys! Its getting to be the rainy season. The Tower looked  bit more like a little village than a royal tower. I like the armory where they kept the suits of armor, sadly there were no handsome princes or knights to be found. Then we saw the execution spot where Anne Boelynn  and others were beheaded, that was a bit sad and upsetting to stand there so we moved on to my favorite place in the whole tower; The Crown Jewels! They were SO stunning! Ever since I was little I would play dress up or Pretty Pretty Princess and put on loads of princess jewels - It was literally breathtaking to see the jewels, orb and septor, huge gems and gigantic diamonds and tiara's and crowns. I stood there staring thinking of the many Kings and Queens that have worn those and thinking "that 540 carat diamond is real?" It was so neat!
