On Saturday we took in many of the city sites. We started by getting onto a boat cruise which took us down the Thames River. We got off to see the Tower of London which is an old castle located right on the river. The Crown Jewels that are part of the Coronation Regalia were here on display. There were so many diamonds and gorgeous crowns. We then walked over to the Tower Bridge Exhibition which had many facts, pictures, and videos 
about the building of this gorgeous brigde. It is often mistaken as the London Bridge which is actually the next bridge down the Thames River. The Tower Bridge is seen on the right. Our next stop on the day was St. Paul's Cathedral. This was one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen, I wish I was able to take pictures to show. Two friends from the group and I went up the 528 steps to the Golden Gallery of the tower to be 85 meters from the Cathedral Floor. We were outside and it was a bit windy so it was scary but the view over London was amazing! After we made our way back down the 528 steps we headed back to the boat to get back to where we had started. Saturday evening I went to The Lion King musical, it was absolutely amazing. The music was so much fun to hear and the actors were so good that most of their voices sounded identical to The Lion King movies.

Our first stop on the day was Warwick Castle. This castle has been decorated to represent different times of the castle. There were also many wax statues of important people that had been in the castle. After the castle we went to Stratford upon Avon, here we got to see the house that William Shakespeare was born in. I
t was a very warm day out so after going through the house Shakespeare was born in some of us walked down and around the river area. The last stop on this tour was Oxford. Here we got to see Christ Church which is where the great hall from Harry Potter was filmed and there were also many other places around the area that were used for the movies as well. The picture on the left is the great hall used in the Harry Potter movies. We then had the couple hour bus ride back to London. This evening the weather was so nice that after supper a group of us went to Trafalgar Square. This area has a couple fountains and places to sit so we just enjoyed the evening.
