Tower of London

On my second day off last week I caught up with a mate, Andy, from my ANZAC Day tour. He was with a couple of his mates and together we all went inside the Tower of London and checked out all the exhibitions. The most prominent being the Jewel House. This is the home of crown used during the coronation of the new king/queen. There are over 23,000 diamonds in this exhibition alone.
After spending a few hours explore the tower and all of its surrounding towers we made our way to Harrods. It was my second visit and this time I discovered the gun room and the Princess Diana memorial. We also spent a bit of time checking out the pets and the extraordinarily priced designer clothes.
After lunch I left Andy and his mates and caught up with another mate Dan who is a mate of Andys and they have been travelling together. We sank a few beers in a pub in Earls Court before saying goodbye again.
