London (again)

Had a lovely dinner last night in the hotel's Indian restaurant. We've had a lovely day and been spoilt by nice weather. Decided in the morning that we didn't want an early breakfast so instead headed off across to Southbank where we had a light breakfast at one of the many eateries and then we went to the 'London Dungeon'. I had no idea what I was in store for however my one criterion that I'd set was that there be NO RATS! What was I thinking in trusting Princess Shiny Bright??? Soo ff we headed into the tunnels and darkness and our first encounter as the 'tour' set off was between glass cages of rats. There were also some crates that you were dared to place your hand inside to guess what what inside. Jan informed me that the one she stuck her hand in felt like kidney or liver some such, but as her hand wasn't covered with blood as she removed her hand from inside the crate, I was optimistic that the 'innards' weren't real!!!
As we went through the various tunnels and had different stories told to us we had to get into small narrow 'boats' that were taking us through the Traitors Gate into prison. At one stage we were sprayed with water so we were now quite wet sitting in a boat in a darkened tunnel.  As luck would have it, the bloody thing broke down so we were stranded in a black tunnel going nowhere and a voice overhead telling us to stay in the boat and keep our hands inside and not stand up.  Trust me, I wasn't going anywhere. Eventually a voice overhead apologized for the break down and then then the lights all came on.  No more mystery about where we were then... Finally side emergency doors were opened and we were shepherded through a corridor where we eventually were back into the tour - but no more water and boats! Not sure how much of it we missed, but I was ready to call it quits at that stage.  Jan naturally was in her element. So, the tour continued.  After about an hour and a half we finally got to the end where we had a final scare of sitting in seats that dropped suddenly - simulating the same drop experienced if hanged!!! Then we made good our escape.  We have the photos to prove it! Time for a cuppa and muffin.
It's a lovely day outdoors so we wandered around past the London Eye, houses of parliament and Big Ben, past Downing Street and Trafalgar Square. Then back to the hotel for a well earned cuppa and rest, because then we ere off to Delauneys for our Viennese Tea.  By the time we had eaten our way through the 3 tiers of finger food and delightful sweet treats we were both totally stuffed, so waddled back to our hotel again where we flopped on our beds.  Then eventually we ventured out into the street again to get some more milk for our coffees, plus as we were both still very full from afternoon tea, we bought sandwiches that would suffice for our dinner.  Back to the room, stuck on the idiot box (Jan is in charge of the remote control.. Give me strength...), made short work of some more Bailey's on ice, penned my epistle to you and now it is time for my supper.
This is our last night in London as we we start our journey home again tomorrow night.  Weather is forecast for lovely again tomorrow. We are planning a leisurely morning and then off to see Uncle Frank again. Will be a lovely farewell to London.
