London, Jan 17




We went to Tower of London - it was rather bloody place for several hundred years! White Tower, Crown Jewels, Ravens, Tower Green- by the end I learned more about English History.





I was somewhat disturbed by Yeoman Warders, they were proudly telling who lost his head here and there. We asked one of Warders if we can take a picture with him. The guy was rushing somewhere and was terribly pissed, but he made a smile and here is the picture.











The legend says that the Kingdom will fail if the ravens ever leave the fortress. As a result,
the ravens have one wings clipped and there is a special ravenmaster caring for the birds.
