Since I have only a few days left in city I decided that it would be nice to see the city from somewhere high. I decided that today I would go to the Tower Bridge and climb up the many stairs to the top. Then once there I walked across the top to the other side. The long walkway has glass on both sides so the city is beautiful and can be seen for miles. Today luckily it was sunny so I could see as far out as I could see.

Along the sides of the glass they had rectangular display tables that had time lines of the bridge, fish you might find in the river, birds often seen in the area, famous people who have visited there, the history of the bridge and finally crazy things that have happened on the bridge. For example two planes have flown through the Tower Bridge over the cars driving below. Another was a double decker bus was on the edge of the bridge as it began to raise to let a ship through, but the bus could not stop so the bus had to jump over the open water and barely landed on the ledge across from them.

After I had been through both towers and I was ready to go I walked towards London Bridge to go to Borough Market. This market is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. There are a variety of things that you can buy, but all of them are edible things. They had stands set up with sighs of what they were selling like olives, cheese, meat, smoothies, sweets, and breads. I walked around this little market of about twenty stands and the crowd was packed through the open spaces between the stands. Free samples are given to people passing by and I tried many of them. They were all very good and the prices are really cheap in this market too. I bought 200 grams of different kinds of Turkish delight for only 2.80 GBPs. I am going to save those for my ride back to the states.

I really enjoyed my day and I look forward to tomorrow. Check in to see what I do and write me a post.
