England Day 5 – Tower of London, Neals Yard, Open Gate Guinness Brewery, and the Key Ceremony
We visited the Tower of London, and finally took a double-decker bus!!! After, we went to Dishoom for Indian food, walked the short Neal’s Yard street, and stopped by the new Guinness Open Gate Brewery, which Shelby and I both managed not to “split the G”. Then we went into the British Museum mainly to see the Rosetta Stone but also for the restrooms lol. I once again managed to miss the Bayeux Tapestry. Tonight we head back to the Tower for the Ceremony of the Keys, but I think I’ll be too tired to post after
16,517 steps / 6.4 miles.
