London: Tower, Imperial War Museum & Oxford St.

Saturday 15 was our third day in London.  We arrived straight at the London Tower.  You can see pictures below where The Chilean Expeditionary Force poses outside the Tower and then eats lunch in preparation of assaulting the fortress.













Here's a video as we walked inside the Tower fortress, once we had breached its defences.



These are some pictures of the children inside the White Tower, the main building within the compound better known as The Tower of London.






Below is a picture of our two Vicentes.  Look at the girls in the background posing for the picture anyway.  They're funny that way. 


Here's a photograph just outside the Tower.  The Thames is at our back and you can see Tower Bridge in the background.


And this is the video we took on the same spot:



When we arrived at the Imperial War Museum there was a couple who were having their wedding picture taken at the entrance to the museum gardens.  All their friends were there with them.


These are the members of The Force looking on as the wedding picture was being taken.

And this is the official video outside the Imperial War Museum.


After leaving the museum we climbed aboard a double decker bus, which was something the members of our expedition had been asking us to do.  Here are two videos of that experience.

After the Museum we got on a double Decker bus and got off at Oxford Street so that our charges could go shopping again on that most famous of shopping streets.  I, on the other hand, went for a walk in Hyde Park, which is probably the biggest park in London.  Here's a short video.

After shopping to their hearts' content, we got the children back on the bus and away we went back to Bedgebury.  We arrived at 10:00 p.m. approximately.
