"Bloody Tower" Tower of London Tip by PeterVancouver

Most of us educated in the UK were at some time or other taken on a school trip to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. That was my first and last visit although I would walk or drive past the place at least once a week during my 50 years living in England.

However now living overseas I was keen to show these buildings to my Canadain family so made it to the last tour of the day around the Tower during the third week of August 2011.

It was a very interesting trip but with twin 5 year old grandchildren and with the warm day, it became too much for them so it turned out to be more of an endurance test for their Dad and myself to carry the children round on the tour. that apart it was very interesting made so by a Beefeater who clearly missed his vocation as a comedy act.
