JUNE 15–22 | London, Thames River & The Globe

We went on a short tour down the Thames to see the Tower of London. I liked this shot of us with Tower Bridge in the background. That’s one thing I definitely learned, is that Londoners get really annoyed when people think this is London Bridge. We went under London Bridge, and really, it’s nothing spectacular.

We also saw The Tempest at the Globe Theater. It is a recreation of the original theater, but it is still really awesome. They make it authentic too in that it is casual and you can get beer and food. We got standing tickets (only 5 pounds) and got there a little early so we could get spots leaning on the stage. The characters are also known for interacting with the audience and throwing water, etc into the crowd, which they did, but none hit us ;) The one guy even spit into the crowd… They were amazing. You can see the outside of the Globe from the Thames here. It is the white building with the brown roof. It was funny because since it is open air, planes would go by overhead and the actors were so good they even incorporated that into the play. It was hysterical!
