So we were both cold, hungry and tired. After finding something to eat, we took a few photos of the Tower Bridge.
A lot of people mistakenly call "Tower Bridge" as "London Bridge." There is "London Bridge" but it's not as amazing looking as "Tower Bridge." The Tower Bridge was quite different from what we pictured. We thought it was made out of steel, but the towers were actually constructed with stone. The government must have cleaned it and repainted it just recently. It looked new and shinning. The weather was getting unbearable, and to save some time, we didn’t walk on the bridge.
Tower of London
This place was first constructed in the year of 1078. Standing on the outer wall, we could really picture how wars were fought during the medieval times. The Tower of London was both a place of King’s residence and a fortress, and now it is a big tourist spot because all the precious royal jewels are kept there. We went into the royal vault to get a closer look at all the jewels used during a coronation ceremony. We saw the Crowns, the Orbs and Scepters, swords and many other items from all the kings and queens from hundreds of years ago. The jewelry themselves were stunning, but we were most amazed by how GOD was really the center of this country, and the royal family. Even thought these were the kings and queens of the land, literally everything we saw had something that resembled: “For the Glory of God” on it. Even the windows on the Tower Walls are in the shape of a cross.
wow the bridge is really pretty..and that tower looks just like a castle...XD any princess inside?
