Thursday Night, London

Well, i'm seriously exhausted now. Which you will probably figure out by reading these. I'm not big on proof-reading.
It was a really really busy day. We started with breakfast at 8 and then 10:30 we headed to the British Library. This is the Brittish version of the Library of Congress, except they have like 2000 years of national history packed in to this place, not to mention they other things they have aquired over the years.
In their 'national treasures' display alone was the original copy of Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen's writing desk and some original pieces. Personal writings from Virginia Wolfe, the originial hand written Mozart piece and Handel's "Messiah", beethoven's tuning fork.... scratches of Paul McCartney's writings for the Beatles... Pages of Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks... Galileo's personal star book, where he recorded astrological stuff. 1 of the originial copies of the Magna Carta and pages and pages of original religious texts.
This is the only room I really visited today, but we will have time when we make it back to London do do some more searching.
After lunch we took a double decker bus tour of the city. I even braved the cold wind (It barely reached 71 degrees today... and the sun was shining most of it)and sat up top to take pictures. It was really fun to see all the things you've heard about. Then all the sudden you make a turn and there is Big Ben. You name it and we probably saw it... maybe just a short glimpse but we saw it. I would like take a much more detailed tour when we get back, but atleast now we have an idea of where things are which will make the trip back much more time efficient.
The bus tour also included a short boat tour, which pretty much showed you exactly what you had seen on the bus but from the water, which was interesting. Yes we saw the "London Bridge" but it was really not very interesting at all... the London Tower Bridge on the other hand is really interesting.... there are like 8 bridges across the Thames river and they all have some pretty simple 'london' name.
Well i'm exhausted. I have to repack so we can take the train to Edinburugh tomorrow bright and early. I'm not sure when I'll get internet service back, but if it is anything like here it will be ready and waiting when we arrive.
Have a good day... try to stay cool, I know I am!!
