We visited the Tower of London today. Did you know that 35 Yeoman Warders and their families live within the Tower walls? Every night for the last 700 years they have performed the Keys Ceremony – where they lock down the tower at 10pm. We took a tour lead by a Yeoman and he pronounced Tower of London the best place to live … especially when raising a teenage daughter! Wow – can you imagine being locked inside the walls of the Tower at 10pm every evening?
We looked through the tower at the Crown Jewels and the Crown Jewel gift shop where you can buy replicas for cheap (relatively speaking of course). That was the part of the tower for the ladies.
For the guys – there was the “boys toys” section. This was in the white tower – full of swords, guns, spears, blocks and axe, skul crusher, iron collar, suits of armour, cannons, barrels of gun powder — everything that a young boy loves!
