Tower Bridge, London

Tower Bridge often gets called the London Bridge... but it's not.
Tower Bridge is the one everyone loves.
London Bridge is a typical looking, no fancy architecture bridge.
I would have loved to stay in London longer and get to walk past Tower Bridge every single day of the year to see how the light reflected off of it changes with the seasons... but who knows, maybe sometime soon I will.

What a sight, hey?
Don't worry London, I'll be back.

#23: See Big Ben

Big Ben was pretty cool if I do say so myself.
What amazing architecture.
And I absolutely loved hearing the strikes of the bell.
If you're in London and you hear them, just stop and listen for a moment.
And then picture that bell chiming for over 150 years, the same way it did in the times of horse and buggy, and knights, and the hippie era.
If your imagination is good enough, for a fraction of a moment you can put yourself in those times and feel complete with the universe knowing that you are also connected to that part of the past.

London has this great feel about it.
History meets modern day.
Little gems scattered throughout if you only but look.

#34: See the Houses of Parliament

I didn't realize that the Houses of Parliament were one with Big Ben (which is actually the name of the bell inside the clock tower, not the clock tower itself).
So many things you learn and see when you travel!

We had the most amazing weather in London as well!
Maybe I might need to move here to really understand what people mean when they say that the weather here is terrible...

#153: See Buckingham Palace

The day we went out to see Buckingham Palace there was a rainstorm.
But we saw it anyways.
London is full of historic, beautiful places and I couldn't not put Buckingham Palace on my bucketlist.

And for some reason all the guards were in grey, not red like I was made to believe in the movies.
I was a little disappointed... Anyone know the reason for the grey?

I'd love to tour the inside of it someday. Maybe I'll add go to a ball at Buckingham Palace to my bucketlist...

#24: Ride/see the London Eye

When writing my bucketlist for the first time around I had "Ride the London Eye" on it.
But after riding the Singapore Flyer for our anniversary I decided to consider just seeing it a tick.

It was the perfect day when we went out.
Blue skies, great friends, new city, it couldn't have been a better time to be exploring London.
