Last day in London

We walked all over London today:  The millenium bridge,


then to the Globe Theatre,



then back across the Millenium Bridge to the Monument to the Great Fire.  331 steps to the top, and I climbed all the way up.  (And back down, of course).  Got the certificate to prove it.


From there we took the tube to Leadenhall Market, which still looks pretty much as it did in Victorian Days, when it began.  Everything was closed because it's Sunday, but it was still fun to see. 


Then we went to the Museum of London, which is built on one part of the original Roman wall.  A section of the wall is still outside the museum.  Very interesting place. From there we went to the Liberty Department Store, which had a lot of very expensive, uber-trendy stuff that I wasn't interested in. But it was fun to gawk at all the weird stuff.


Took the tube back to the hotel, ate a most lovely dinner (I had Caesar salad with grilled prawns), packed and re-packed, and are now ready to exit stage left.

See everyone when we get back home!
