Day 2

Today I headed out and checked out a few of the more iconic tourist attractions London has to offer. I caught the tube to the Tower of London where i had a very cheesy tour with a beefeater or Yeoman warder named phillip -he couldn't look more English if he tried! From there i walked along the river to Tower Bridge and climbed the killer stairs! The view of London is great but the Thames has to be the only river dirtier than the Yarra. I decided to do one of those cruises down the Thames - it took forever - almost 2.5 hours. I headed out to Leicester Square to see what shows were playing in the West End. I splurged and booked a ticket to 'Wicked' after hearing great things about it. I had a bit of a nana nap back at the hostel - jet lag kicking in - and then headed out to see the show. It was absolutely amazing and see it if it comes to a theatre near you. It was then back to a noisy dorm room for attempted sleep after a hectic day
