Today we had to start off the day with Starbucks, visited the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and the London Fire memorial(pictures below).
We were able to get a tour in the Tower of London by a "beefeater" which is a guard of the Tower of London. In order to qualify for this responsibility someone must have a spotless military record, numerous accolades and a minimum number of years service. The beefeaters live in the Tower ( or as we learned towers) of London. 
Now the tower holds the crowned Jewels which we were able to see so sorry no pictures! previously it was mainly used to hold prisoners. after hearing many terrible stories, I have concluded I would not survive in the Middle Ages.

We required a stop at Starbucks today as we were dragging from our previous days of marathon walking, minimal sleep, and sight seeing. We are loving looking at all the historical sights but are overwhelmed at the amount of things to see and the amount of physical exertion needed. 
Day 4: Today we got up early to go to Kensington Palace, where I got my first charm for my charm bracelet of the trip. We then went to the changing of the guards and got ready to head to Paris.
