London Day 4

Bivens had been talking about this friend of his Jeff Outlaw, who was the Froeign Ambassador to the US Consulate, a lofty position, and he could get us into the Tower of London for free. This would enable us all to save money, as the Tower costs about 14 pounds a person. Bivens ends up only getting 6 tickets, so some people in the group devise this plan that the people who dont pay for the tickets put up halt the money to buy the ones who dont have a ticket, tickets, which ends up being about 6 pounds a person. So we get to the Tower, ask for the Beefeater that Outlaw told us, and they didn't even check out tickets!! We all could have gotten in for free, oh well thats life! Anyway the Tower has always been one of my most favorite places to visit in London, not only because of the gruesome history and all the carnage, but because the Crown Jewels are there and those are some serious rocks! Seeing the ravens is always a fun adventure, espicially since the cheat and clip their wings so that they never leave, because if the ravens do leave the Tower, the Tower will fall and the Monarchy will crumble, but hey, who believes that? HA! So moving on we then moved down the street towards St. Pauls again and partook in some more Yo! Sushi, where it was Monday and they were pricing every plate as 2.20 pounds, such a deal!! We ate our fill there and then decided as a group to head over to Greenwich for the afternoon to take in the Mean Time, Maritime Museum, and the other sites. When we got there, we found out that they were shooting a movie at the old War College and it turned out to be Gullivers Travels starring Jack Black! He was there but we never got to see him, they kept him under lock and key. We then hiked up the hill to the Mean Time center, leaving Emily and Courtney at the bottom of the hill. Let me tell you, the view form there was beautiful, you could see all of London. We had our fill of Greenwich and then headed back to the Center to get ready for Emily's Farewell Dinner at the Hard Rock in London, where Miss Paladino pulled some strings and got us in no problem, you rock Emily!!
