The Tower of London was not at all what I thought it was going to be like. I really enjoyed my experience there. It was way bigger and diverse than I was expecting. I enjoyed how different all of the buildings looked and that they all had so much to look at on the inside.
I really enjoyed the crown jewels! Mad I couldn’t take pictures because I would love to remember all of the beautiful things I saw in there. One of my favorite things to look at were all of the trumpets. The cloths and little bows connected to them were stunning! I also found it funny that the punch bowl was so big that it could hold like 240 bottles of wine, that is crazy! The scooper for it too was huge. I can imagine how fun their parties were back in the day.
We also went to the white tower which was full of all the weapons and armor which was realllllly cool. They had armor for kids, adults, and horses and it was really interesting to see who wore all of them too. We then went to the torture chamber which gave me chills. It made me very sad to see that people treated people like that but then again I know how big of a deal treason was back in the day.
Queen Anne Boleyn was for sure the most controversial Queen in British history. She was found guilty of adultery with four men and had incest with her brother. She actually was said to have laughed before she got executed. She was making jokes about her neck before she got beheaded and I actually saw exactly where she was beheaded which was spooky. Queen Victoria ordered for there to be a plaque where she was killed because she was so moved by her story.
