This morning, we got a late start because after midnight last night, the fire alarm kept going off. It turned out to be a false alarm. When we finally left, we walked to the Bayswater Tube station. We took the Circle Line to Embankment station. From there, we walked to Trafalgar Square. We were looking for the tourist information office so we could take the sightseeing hop-on, hop-off bus. As usual, we walked all around the square and could not find it. I then saw one of the buses and asked the driver where the office was. With his directions, we found it and got our tickets. We decided to ride the bus all the way around first to get an overview of London.
After riding the full circuit once, we then took the bus to the Tower of London. There, we used our London Pass to enter. We walked all around the Tower. It does not really resemble a tower; it is more like a castle. After touring the Tower, we boarded a boat and took a river tour down to Westminster Abbey. From there, we took the Tube back to the Bayswater station.
We ate supper at Bella Italia. I had a very good spaghetti and meatballs dish, while Jay had a chicken sandwich. Afterward, we decided to go see a movie. Visiting movie theaters in foreign countries is another way to get to know the country you are in. After the movie, it was time to head back to the hotel.
