London - day 4

I'm finally in the mood to update my blog so here it goes.

On my 4th and final day in London (Sunday, June 11) I started out walking the other direction (east) along the south bank of the Thames. It was really cool. There were all these cool, new condos that must cost a fortune to live in. Then I came across Tower Bridge. What a sight! Walked across Tower Bridge just as the drawbridge finished lowering to let a large sailboat pass. I wanted to go into the Tower of London, which is the old fort on the north side of the Thames, but for $30 USD it was too much money. Next I made my way to St. Paul's Cathedral. Because it was Sunday it was open to the public for free! Thats good otherwise I would have had to pass on it. Finally I made my way to Regents Park. Another huge park that was absolutely packed with people. I hung out there for a bit before taking the tube back to the hostel.

By the time I walked to the train station on Monday morning to take the train to the airport, I was ready to be out of London. I loved the city, but its huge and there were lots of people there. The tube system is top notch though.
