2013 Volleyball Tour Blog Tour #3 – Day 3 London.
Today is Saturday…. We had breakfast at our normal 7:45am, and were out the door at 8:30am to go to Green Park to catch the start of the Big Bus Company Hop on Hop off tour. The tour starts from this stop and we all could get a seat on the top of the bus. (we had to take 2 buses because of the size of our group) but they come by about every 10 minutes.
The day was hot... (the hottest day of the year for London ... about 90+)... We stayed on the bus until it arrived to the Tower of London.. then we got off and met up with the other 1/2 of our group. We took a group photo in from of
the Tower Bridge (see photo).... then we organized into small groups of 15 or more to take advantage of the discount tickets to get inside of the Tower. Inside it was amazing... the Wardens inside told us stories about what we were seeing and really made the history come to life as this is where it had happened. Following the tower of London we were free to go with our new smaller groups to have independent sight seeing or go back onto the hop on hop off bus for a continuation of the tour.
Did I mention..... how HOT it was today.... in
LONDON....
We had a free evening… many went to dinner… others went to
the theater… and others took advantage of the free time to get in a little
extra sleep… (being a tourist is harder than we thought).
Tomorrow…. We have volleyball practice and scrimmages then our final free time in London
