Today we visited the Tower of London. Now, I was there 14 years ago, but I saw so many changes that have taken place - so it was like a whole new visit.
We saw the following at this massive complex, sitting next to Tower Bridge:
1. Tower cells/prisons, including the one where Sir Walter Raleigh was held, and other cells where people were imprisoned for a time, sometime before their execution.
2. The site of the execution of Anne Boleyn, among others (the last time I was here, the STONE was here. Now there's a memorial statue)
3. Armour of various kings from Henry VIII through James I.
4. Crown jewels...so much opulence.
We also did a "Wall Walk" around roughly half of the perimeter of the complex.
