Dublin and London for Business


Friday, 7 October 2011 - Spent the final day in London focusing on iconic historic sites, beginning with an early visit to Westminster Abbey to explore its Gothic architecture and royal tombs, photographed Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, wandered to St. Paul's Cathedral and surrounding City of London landmarks, visited highlights of the British Museum, and wrapped up the adventure with final city sights before departing home.

Virginia Ann and I headed out with three big goals in mind for the last day in London.

The first one was Westminster Abbey - we arrived about 30 minutes prior to opening and we were first in line. This is the north facade, built in Gothic style and where the line begins for entrance.
