July 4

Today we were going to recover a bit as our only plans were to go see Spamalot at 8pm. We relaxed through breakfast and went to St Paul's Cathedral where we were awestruck and silenced by its stunning grandeur. Then we decided to clinb the 500+ steps to the whispering gallery and then to the top of the dome for a panoramic view of the city. Once on your way up there was no turning back, but it was well worth it. We then crossed the millenium bridge and walked along the Thames to the London Eye for another amazing view of the city - we were well above Big Ben and I did not like when it stopped at the top! From there we took the tube to the British museum where in less than 45 minutes, we saw the Rosetta Stone ( discovered by Napoleon's soldiers ), a samurai suit of armor, an Easter island sculpture, and a medieval chess set. Spamalot was cheesy and hilarious and we even got to sing the Star Spangled Banner during the show !
