On my second day in England, Finale and I got up early around 6:00 AM or maybe 6:30 AM. We boarded a bus in Cambridge and went to London for the day. This was an exceptional day since it was sunny and never rained. The tour guides all expressed shock when they saw the sun.

We got off the bus at the Tower bus stop, which is in front of the Tower of London. We walked through the city for about an hour stopping to see the outside of St. Paul Cathedral. Then we met up with the guides who were offering two-hour long London tours. We took the tour in English even though we were given the option of hearing it in Spanish. Our tour guide was fun. We saw many important tourist sites during the tour.

At the end of the tour we ate a picnic lunch, and then went on to walk through more of the city. Eventually we walked to the British Museum and then passed Covent Garden and Picadilly Circus. After a dinner (fish and chips for me) we made our way back to the bus back to Cambridge.
