London

Day 6

• This was supposed to be our easy, relaxing day. Ha. HA HA.
• We went to Leceister Square to the half-price ticket booth to see if there were discount tickets for The Woman in Black. Success!
• We took a tour of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Unexpected, but lovely mosaics and the American Chapel were beautiful. 
• Then I decided to climb to the top of the dome. Cylinda just looked at me and shook her head.
• There are three levels or galleries, one inside the dome and the other two outside. In total, it’s 528 steps which is the equivalent of 25 stories. I would totally do it again. The views of the city were spectacular.
• We ate at Ye Olde Chesire Cheese, the one of the oldest pubs in London. There were a maze of rooms and atmosphere felt old-timey. Well done, Cheese!
• Had beers at Craft Beer Company.
• On the way back to the apartment, we passed by a bank with a horde of people outside like they were reenacting the bank run from It’s a Wonderful Life. We held onto our money.
• Got some sandwiches at Pret a Manger, the ubiquitous prepared food chain and ate dinner back at the apartment.
• Headed to the West End to see The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre. It was a 2-man horror play that had some genuine creepy moments. The seats in the dress circle were built for 6 year olds, though. But all in all, the small theatre was charming.
