day 2 in London

Today, Angie and I went to the tower hill and admired the royal jewelery collections.  My favourite was the crown jewel which was absolutely stunning!  (Diamond of africa / star)  That was my favourite and I took the conveyor belt a few times just to admire it (yes, there was a conveyor belt to prevent ppl from stalling and blocking others..)

We grabbed a cheap sandwich for lunch and went to check out the St John HQ.  We met alex the receptionist and terry the tourguide.  Terry was an aussie/english and led us through a great tour of the tudor gate, 1540 building , library, great hall, church inside the chruch but couldn't get into the crypt.  I ended up buying 70 pounds worth of souvenir. man that was expensive

We then went shopping and looked for this crazy primark that pat told us to go to.We ended up getting some stuff off oxford street, will  go back tomorrow to check out fcuk for ah to.

In the evening, we saw the second show and it was Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat.  Joseph was amazing.  It was a different genre and reminded me of skule nite in the sense that scenes are a bit random. I mean there was an elvis :/  But nonetheless, there were great songs, great cast (cute lead) lee mead - want to watch how he got picked now.  And I bought the cast book :)

After the show, we decided to head to king's cross so i don't need to do it tomorrow to get a shot of platform 9 3/4.

Tomorrow's plan is to check out buckingham palace (while the Queen's away on  vacation so we can go in!), hope we won't have too much trouble catching changing of the guards.
