Tower Bridge Tour and Hampton Court Palace

Tower Hotel
London, UK

Hampton Court Palace was our destination yesterday.  The coach arrived at 8:30 and all 14 of the tour group piled on.  The Hampton Palace is huge and it would take a couple of days to see all of it.  We were the last ones that walked back to the bus about 1:15. Every one had different places they wanted to visit for the remainder of the day.  Our bus driver happily drove to all the different destinations to let everyone off.  Bill and I wanted to go back to the hotel and visit the Tower Bridge Museum.  

I didn't know what to expect for the bridge tour.  Luckily there was a lift (I'm getting into the language here.)that took you to the top.  We walked across from one tower over to the other.  There was a special exhibit on the bridges of the world.  As you walk across the walkways between the towers the floor is glass and you can see the cars and people below you.



If I'm skipping all around it's because when I go to add a photo the photo doesn't show.  I just have the number and date.  That's what I get for getting a new small computer and leaving immediately for a trip without Dave getting it ready for me.

Here's some of the 3,000 weapons displayed in the Hampton Court Palace.

Here's a photo of the gardens, which is so large you can't get a great photo.

That's yesterday's adventure and I'll try and catch up later tonight.  We spent the entire day at the London Tower Museum and came back to soak our feet for an hour before we have the official welcome kick off dinner of the trip.  The other 8 people have been arriving all through the day.
