Day three......headed off to London Tower for a history lesson. Not to sure about the crown jewels though. Saw the biggest gold punch bowel. It takes 144 bottles of wine to fill it up. That is my super fact for the day. We all did a tour of Lords and I must admit it was much more interesting than I thought it would be. Us Aussies were pretty good at cricket. Heard the good old story about Booney drinking 56 cans of beer on his flight home from London to Oz after one of the tours. Lots of great banter between all of the people on the tour....Warney's ears must have been burning.
Paul and I were left to fend for ourselves as Ross and Jonn went off to find a drinking hole that suited their age not ours. We visited the National Portrait Gallery where we voted for the peoples choice. After this we stumbled across Buckingham Palace by me taking a wrong turn, however, it was worth a look. I should have guessed we were close to it as I saw lots of people walking Corgi (plural). Long walk back to Victoria Station to tube it to our station and then another walk home. Not sure where the boys ended up as they were off beer tasting and got home Soho late!
