This way day 2 of 3 for our London Pass voucher, so we wanted to take full advantage of it today. We started our morning off by doing the Shakespeare Globe Theatre tour. We got to sit in the theatre and learn about its history and what it we like to be in the audience. We were there for about 30-45 minutes and timed it right, because we missed some of the rain. Once we finished there, we walked across the Millenium bridge nearby and on the other side, took a bus towards the Tower of London. Before we trekked into the Tower, we ate lunch nearby at Perkin Reveller. We both had the "chop and a glass", which was a pork chop with a glass of unknown red wine. It was really good, and the service was efficient. One thing we've noticed since being here is that the waiters don't bring you your check when you're finished. They usually only bring it when you tell them to. After lunch, we went through the Tower of London. It is so massive and the lady at the entrance said it would take around 3 hours just to see most of it. We weren't really sure where to start, so I said we should head straight for the Crown Jewels. They wouldn't let us take any pictures inside, but this part was absolutely amazing. Everything about every detail is just so extravagant. And it's just so cool to know that all of those pieces are still in use today. Afterwards, we headed to the tower in the middle of the fortress, called the White Tower. This held all the armor, weapons, and such. And good lord, you'd think Scott died and gone to heaven. It was hilarious watching him nerd out on stuff like that, and it all really was pretty awesome.
To continue this streak of watching Scott squeal like a little girl, we went over to Emirates Stadium because Arsenal is one of his favorite club teams. We went everywhere round the stadium and even the field.
That was the last thing on our list, so we just spent the rest of the day hanging out and enjoying the company.
