Monday night. Admission to the Ceremony of the Keys went without a hitch; think I could have given him a completely different piece of paper and it would have been ok. Started to rain in London at about 7 pm, so, a soggy mess by 9:30 for the ceremony. Suzanne had no umbrella (at the room) or coat, so, was fairly miserable at the end of it.
Dinner Monday night: Ate at The Silver Cross. Scott had Chicken Stew with Dumplings (sides of mashed tatoes and peas) and Suzanne had Steak & Ale pie. I enjoyed mine, Suzanne as ok with hers.
Suzanne and I slept like the dead when we got back to the hotel Monday night
Tuesday. Slept in! Had breakfast at the hotel lounge (good continental fare). Walked across Westminster Bridge from our hotel to begin our tour.
Westminster Abbey
Did audio tours at the Abbey and the War Room; did the guided tour at the Tower. Yeoman Warder was pretty funny, on purpose. One event was especially good, we're walking up towards the Tower Green and there's these two kids playing chase in the courtyard and he yells "Hey, cut it out!". And then points his two fingers towards his eyes, and then towards them. Suzanne and I look at each other and smile, no report if the boys bothered to say "And we've got our arse on you!"
The Tower Of London
Dinner at Thai Square; Suzanne had the Green Curry and was extremely pleased, I had this beef and sweet chili thing that was good. Made a mistake at dinner, I was having a taste of hers and had grabbed some of her veggies and ate a red pepper, assuming it was mild (like the US) and it wasn't, and had flaming-hot-mouth the rest of the night. Oh well.
Checked out Leicester Square (we'll be going there tomorrow am for 1/2 price tickets for a show tomorrow night) and Picadilly Circus before retiring for the evening.
