Ashley and I bought the London Pass when she was here {her fab idea}. This pass will allow you to see most of London's attractions at a discounted price, without waiting in the lines. So one of the hot spots we wanted to see + experience was the Tower Bridge. And let me tell you, the view is worth the entire cost of the London Pass {warning: it is not for those with squeamish stomachs!}.
My love affair with the Tower Bridge continues, as I learn more about the bridge! Unfortunately for Big Ben, my love for him is waning, after learning that only UK residents can tour Big Ben. Seems a little silly since London can make millions off tourists who want to see who Ben is and what he is all about {I digress, like I usually do}. In any case, I love Tower Bridge because you can in fact go to the top and get a bird's eye view of London. Ashley and I bought the London Pass when she was here {her fab idea}.

And let me tell you, the view is worth the entire cost of the London Pass {warning: it is not for those with squeamish stomachs!}. First time I had the chance to see the bridge in use! Admiring the Thames and our new kicks ;). After the bridge, we walked to Tower Hill to use our London Pass at another attraction. You could spend hours upon hours in this castle where numerous people were executed {yikes!}. I spy the bridge! There he stands! Yeoman live in those apartments in Tower Hill above. What would it be like to live in a castle? I leave you with the Queen's Guard, watching the Crown Jewels {pictured above, the toy solider (isn't he cute?!)}. I couldn't capture clear pics of the Crown Jewels, but believe me when I tell you that you probably have never seen more beautiful, large, and sparkly diamonds as these. It was definitely worth the line to see Her Majesty's jewels!

You'll have to tell me what else you can go do with the London Pass. Great shot of Tower Bridge in action!
