From the British Museum to the Tower Bridge







Today we went to do tourism in London. First we went to British Museum one of the world's most leading museum. Its treasures include the Egin Marbles, the superb Greek sculpter to the famous Rosetta stone. We were fascinated by the fullness of the rich treasures it houses. After that we went to visit the Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. Its so beautiful. The 13th century Chapter house an octagonal chamber that is fantastic. Finally we went to the London Tower Bridge - London's best known and most distinctive bridge it has straddled the Thames river for over a century. The twin drawbridges, which each weigh about 1000 tonnes, take just 90 seconds to rise. After that we ate the famous fish and chips and took a boat a long the Thames river where we saw a lot of attractions. We had a wonderful but busy day and so cold.
