We monopolise London!

The next few days were spent tracing our steps through the streets of Monopoly (the game) in London.
Picadilly Circus was home to our Westend performance óf ´Chicago´, we strolled down Bond st., Oxford st. and Pall Mall.
Auntie Sandra took us on a guided tour of Wells, home to the most awesome cathedral we have ever seen, and Bath, where we toured the Roman Baths, still in pristine condition and toasty warm to this day!
Over the next few days we trekked across the London Bridge, visited Shakespeare´s Globe Theatre, which was a great insight into entertainment in his day. Unfirtunately plays only run in the summer, so we were able to do a guided tour instead and see the stage from the Pit, the Boxes and even the best seat in the house -- behind the stage so one could be seen and admired by others attendees of the plays!
The Tower of London was next, guided by one of the ´Beefeaters´- the colloquial name for a Yeoman Warder. He had numerous anecdotes and gruesome stories about various beheadings that occured here.
Madame Tussaud´s wax museum was another winner where we brushed shoulders with many (wax) celebrities.
Of course Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey (where lie the tombstones of many great names in history including Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and many others) made our itinerary, but we were much to busy to stop for tea with Elizabeth or Tony on Downing St, and just didn´t have time to give our opinion in a session of parliament...
So our tour continued to the Gigantic British Museum, home to a wealthy collection of artefacts from all over the world. Our brief audio-tour hardly did justice to this amazing museum.
So that was our whirlwind tour of imperial London, where we shall be returning no doubt!
