On our 2nd day in London, Mikayla and I just kind of winged it! (Since we did SO MUCH the day before) The first place we went to was the British Museum. Since it was free to get it, we def. took advantage of this! We bought those automated tour for only 3 pounds and spent about 2 and a half hours walking around the Museum. We saw Cleopatra’s tomb, amazing Greek artifacts, and some Egyptian art, jewlery, and pottery.

After Mikayla’s sandals broke (lol) we had to go into a tourist shop where she bought THE FUNNIEST (and only) sandals they had in the store, so of course they had the British Flag on them. While we were in there we asked one of the locals which would be cheaper. The London Dungeon (historical amusement) or a Play. Well The London Dungeon won at only 20 pounds (where as a play would have been 40 pounds). We took the tube over to the London Bridge where the this was located. This place was awesome. It showed how they treated criminals dating back to the 1600′s. Their torture tools, how the judiciary system worked (not fair at all I might add). They also performed surgery on these “inmates” to further their knowledge on our organs (WHILE THEY WERE ALIVE). As the timeline increased we learned about The Plague, Sweeney Todd, Jack the Ripper, and of course all leading up to OUR death sentence (which was to be hung). We took the boat ride to hell (like one of those lof flume things) where they pulled us out and left us in a dark room and put us in these seats in a seperate room and took us up about 5 flights, pulled the so called “plank” out from underneath us and we free fell. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED I might add, but a lot of fun!

After The London Dungeon we took the tube back to the other side of the city and went shopping on Oxford Ave. The shopping was awesome, but tiring too! Once we got back to the Hotel that night around 10pm we just crashed!! And left the hotel at 10am the next morning.
