Day 16 London

Today was the last day of sightseeing and I was ready to be home. We were headed to the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. When we reached the tower I knew this was going to be a rough day for me. I woke up not feeling rested and my eyes were hurting, which meant my sight was not clear. There were people EVERYWHERE, people were pushing each other to get through and loud music playing. My anxiety increased real quick. For the trip, I had been wearing only one hearing aid so I could listen to the receiver, but this day I knew I needed both hearing aids. I had to take lots of deep breaths to get through the day.

The tower was not what I expected, smaller than I thought. The Crown Jewels can not be describe because no words can be said to give you a picture in your mind of how breathtaking they were. We saw a video of Queen Elizabeth coronation, the cape she wore, and the gold dinning set and punch bowl. I couldn't believe all the gold! Everything looked so formal and elegant.


















After that tour we drove by Kings Cross, which was a very boring building that was not exciting at all! We also drove by Buckingham Palace, but too quick for me to see a lot and take pictures.
