First we went to
the Tower of London and saw Traitors Gate, the White Tower and the
Armouries. Then we saw the Crown Jewels. They were displayed in huge,
long glass case with conveyor belts around it which you stand on to
watch. there was a sceptre with a potato sized diamond, the Imperial
State crown which had every jewel under the sun set on it! And loads of
rings and other crowns, the Sovereign Orb as well.
After the Tower of
London, we had lunch and went to the National Portrait Gallery where we
toured th exhibition on Pop Art. It was really cool, my favourite one
was a portrait of Elvis Presley firing a gun, but there were two of him
side by side. It was by Andy Warhol.
I think all the 1s
really enjoyed the trip and I definitely had a great time!
