Our last day of touring! 😢

We toured London on a big coach with a new twist. The London Marathon was happening as we toured so we were manoeuvring around the blocked streets. It actually was a blessing in disguise as many things were closed due to it being Sunday and with the marathon, the streets were quite empty.

• Lion and unicorn symbol of Scotland joined with Northern Ireland joining the UK
• Drove by Hyde Park and saw some “bloke” standing on a pedestal jabbering to a group of people. We were told this happens on a weekend basis.
• Oxford Street is a mile and half long. Longest shopping street. Crosses with Regent Street. We were here shopping yesterday.
• Museums were made free to educate the public because not everyone could get to school.

After finishing our tour, we had lunch at the Tower of London and crossed the Tower Bridge where the marathoners were running. Crazy busy but so inspiring listening to the all the cheering.

We toured the HMS Belfast which was a British war ship. You could listen to the audio guide or just explore. Taylor said it was her favourite museum of the whole trip! The physical aspects of it were quite good instead of just listening or reading.

We took the tube to Covent Garden where we found just a few more treasures to squeeze into our overloaded suitcases.

Our last tour supper was a tradition fish and chips meal.

For our last activity, we went on the London Eye. It was a beautiful way to end our adventure!

Jens Koberstein was our tour director. He was fabulous!

Our wake up call is to come at 340 AM tomorrow. We should be in Regina about 330 pm. Good night!
