Tuesday, July 9 - Night at the museum

Lovely Day today. More tourist time. About half of the group went on the London Dungeon Excursion. It was interesting. I was expecting a factual tour of the the real London Dungeon, but this was more of an amusement type thing, not even in a dungeon at all.

The other half of the group toured the St. Paul's Cathedral. It got rave reviews, some of us are going tomorrow.

After that we hiked all the way to the British Museum. One BIG PLACE. Egyptian Mummies, Rosetta Stone, and Cleopatra.

Tomorrow we have a free day to explore the city on our own. Thursday we head to Coventry. We have been torturing the competitors who have to try to lose weight, by ordering big meals, and drinking pints of Ale. Notice in the group picture in the pub, the dieting athletes in the foreground drinking water and eating salads. In the background we are drinking beer and eating desserts. We are much happier in the back.

The day ended with a trip on the London Eye, which is the a super enormous Farris wheely thing that towers way above the skyline of London. We tubed home and ended the evening in the hotel pub. We are all wiped and plan to sleep in a bit in the morning.
