Day 6 - Our Last Day in London

We started the day a little later than planned but a lot earlier than previous days, no fighting with banks this morning!! We continued our tour of London on the south side of the river. We began with a huge church whose name and significance quite escapes me currently, but it was well worth visiting and is certainly off the beaten tourist track. We then turned East and headed along the river passing a reconstruction of the Golden Hinde, which you history buffs will note as being the galleon that Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the world on. It is really quite tiny. Then we were on to the reconstructed Globe, which you should remember was Billy Shakespeare's theater. It was quite nice and our guide was a quite a character. Apparently, in order to raise money, they sold the flagstones around the theater to people who had their names inscribed on them. This lady had bought two, and then the summer crew had the gall to put a hot dog cart on both her stones!!! After the Globe we went to the Tower Bridge and walked on, over, around, and through it. We got to see the engine room and go on the top walkways. Then we hopped on a ferry and road down to Parliament and Big Ben, checked them out. Then we looked at Westminster Abbey (From the outside) and walked around the area. We went inside the Central Methodist Church, but they were have a rare weekday midday service and so we couldn't look all around which made us very sad. But we went to their coffee shop and had hot chocolate a muffin so that made it a little better. then we went home and packed; our time in London was ending.
