Day 4: Our last day in London

Hello all, Just a quick issue for today to keep you up to date. We went from 17 degrees and sunny to a bitterly cold 11 degrees and overcast. Back to our typical 3 layers and after a well earnt sleep in we were off to the tower of London. A building which is incredibly old, historic and fully of incredible stories. We saw the crown jewels of the monarch, a room guarded by a 2000 tonne series of steel doors and 10 well dressed guards it was incredible to see up close an object which by itself is worth upwards of 2 million dollars. We then ventured out to the home of cricket, Lords! As incredible as it was to venture through the hallowed halls of the home of cricket and explore the scene of many famous cricket events, Aaron and I both somewhat biasedly agreed that we prefer the adelaide oval. The tour guide was probably 95 years old, couldn't count, and was the stereotypical English cricket fan. He did however have some amazing stories which kept some clueless Indian fans in awe. A particular highlight was viewing the original holy grail, the ashes, in person. It is always inspirational to walk the halls that your idols have previously walked and you yourself aspire to walk along in the future. We both can't wait to get out and play some cricket. Well tonight is an early night, a load of washing and a good nights sleep on behind us we head off on our Contiki tour of north west Europe tomorrow. First stop Paris!!! Hope all is well wherever this is being read. Until next time, watch this space. Dillon
