London Day Two

My memory is getting a bit hazy now, but I think it went something like this...

Ashley went home the following day, so I got up and went for a stroll through Hyde park (did I mention it was 26 degrees to day, perfect blue skys, and not a drop of rain has fallen on me ?) then wandered down to buckingham palace to see the changing of the guards. Not that impressed, just putting it out there.

Then I popped back and grabbed my climbing gear and went for some bouldering at 'The Castle' an indoor climbing centre in, you guessed it, a castle. The facilities are really good. Three levels of bouldering. Good problems and a great variety of wall angles and styles. After about three hours I was throughorly trashed enough for a coffee and a sit down.

After a shower and a change of clothes I headed off for the 'grim reaper tour' again by the neweurope tour mob. Essentially a 'Jack the Ripper' tour, we checked out some spot where people were hanged (hung?), discussed the ghosts and the Tower of London, and then spent the majority of time wandering around to different areas where the rippers victims were murdered, good story that one, the guide even talked about the suspects and who he thinks did it. I forget who he said now.

Tower of London, not really a tower, well sort of.

I know I said I'd do days two and three, but that was day two. There was also some parting, but if you want to know about that, you'll have to ask.
