Brenda and Sue in London's rain on the steps of St. Pauls.
Today we travelled by train to London--2 hours. We are back at the Thanet Hotel by on the 1st floor---thank you Lord!!! It is pouring with rain but we left our bags and walked to St. Paul's Cathedral---a 3 three hour round walk and in the rain!! We passed Fleet Street and walked on but it wasnt cold---just wet!!
We went into St. Pauls and spent a couple of hours in this beautiful Cathedral. We went in the crypt and saw Nelson's tomb and Sir Christopher Wren's. William Blake there too and lots more. I love the domed ceiling and had to stand directly under it to see the smaller top dome---amazing architecture!!
I loved this room in the crypt that was called "The Eye of St.Paul's". You satnd in this room and there is a projection that shows the time-line of St. Pauls. The gReat fire of London goes around all the walls. Then it takes you up to the whispering gallery and moves around---bit scary for me and my height problem but THEN it went up to the Golden Gallery-----this goes around the OUTSIDE of the Dome!!! I shut my eyes at first but when I peeped it was the most mgnificent view of London 360o !! Then it was back to the Hotel in the rain---bit wet but a good walk!!
