London, Day 2; Wax Figures, and Towers

Day 2 started bright and early, (7:00AM) with the free breakfast buffet type thing offered by the hotel. It was definitely a nice start to the day!


We finished a bit quicker than we normally would, as we were trying to beat the rather large groups of teenage school kids out of the hotel. There were so many groups of them! We are pretty sure that they are all from various neighbouring countries.

Anyways, on with the day!

We hopped on another Big Bus Tour (that's the open top tour bus), and made our way to Madame Tussauds!

That's the type of bus we were on there!

 As we got off the bus, a HUGE group of high school kids got in the group entry line at Madame Tussauds. We were so glad that we had to use the regular entrance! So we made our way in, and right away we start seeing the wax figures! Jim Carrey pointed our way up a bunch of stairs to the ticket desk.

It was a really neat experience! As expected, there were massive crowds around Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner, and Robert Pattinson. Sadly, Patrick Stewart was standing all by himself. =(

As we continued the morning part of the day in Madame Tussauds, we noticed that hardly anyone was in the historical people, sports, or culture.

We made our way through, and decided it was time for lunch!

After a sandwich and some soup at Pret a Manger, we headed back onto the Big Bus, and headed on to the Tower of London!

We walked around and explored and took many pictures! It was very crowed, but a very historically rich experience. Then we wandered over to Tower Bridge, and continued learning!

We finished the headed off for dinner, then went home and collapsed!

What a day!
