Our last day in London was a short one, so we just left one big attraction for that day. We got up early, loaded our luggage on the bus, hit Starbucks and headed off for St. Paul's Cathedral. It is amazing and none of my pic do it justice. I couldn't even manage to get a pic of all of it from the outside. It is just too big. The dome is amazing. It is very tall and beautifully painted, but I was most impressed by all of the mosaics depicting Biblical scenes. They are made of millions of little pieces, but done so well that they look like paintings!!! Talk about artistry and craftmanship!!! We climbed up the 5oo some odd steps to the top of the dome and checked out the city from there. It is by far the best view of the entire city. Once we come down (completely worn out!!) we caught the tube to Picadilly Circus to find where we would catch the bus. After securing our location, thanks to a friendly local, we found a tavern to have lunch in. Our British friends made us promise to eat "real" English fare before leaving London. It wasn't open quite yet, so we hung out in the Rainforest Cafe for a bit and then hit the tavern for lunch. I ordered fish and chips as instructed and Jer had bangers and mash (Irish sausage and potatoes). The food was very good, but I'm not sure my arteries will ever be the same!!! After that we loaded up on the bus for a very long ride home, but it was well worth the trip!!!
