London - Day 6

My last day in London! Normal morning, and left at 09:45, towards the London Bridge. I knew it was going to be a long walk, and it took me two hours to get there, excluding a quick stop at a Sainsbury's Local to buy a piece of bread. I learned that the London Bridge is not the same thing as the Tower Bridge - the one I actually wanted to see. No worries though, it was just one bridge away, near the Tower of London.

The Tower of London.
Just before I entered the Tower of London, I went to EAT and ate a humous wrap. For the tower, I didn't really know what to expect - maybe some one-hour tour of something mildly cool... It turned out to be an old fort, and I took the audio guide and spent three hours walking around. I saw the crown jewels, and the armor collection, and other cool stuff. It was increasingly disconcerting to see so much money in so small a place... I took the time to take a picture of the Tower Bridge before I left.

I went to the British Museum again, arriving at 16:45, but didn't have much time, because they started closing the exhibitions at 17:20, and I couldn't see all that I was missing from my tour yesterday. At least, I saw the whole Japanese exhibit.

I left and went to Wasabi for a delicious pack of sushi, and slowly made my way to the Comedy Store, stopping again at the same WaterStone and read, again, a bit of Death Note.

Today, my back wasn't as sore as the other days (my body must be getting used to all the walking and standing), but by then, my right calf muscle was hurting. I arrived at the Comedy Store at 18:30, waited and found the show to be so-so. It was similar in vulgarity to the tuesday show, and I definitely loved the improvisation guys more. A lot more.

I went back to my room and checked if I had everything ready for my departure tomorrow.
