Tower of London

SO Yesterday I had the chance to meet my girlfriend for the first time and it was one of the best days I have had for a long time.

However, I do not have that many photos because my phone is being a douche and decided to delete half of them, which I am very annoyed at. 

SO this me and Rebekkah. I did have a photo where I don't look so awkward but myphone deleted it. So I have had to stick with this one. The tower of london was actually great. Expect, for when I kept falling upstairs or tripping over nothing or sitting bird shit or dropping half of my food. 

Apart from that- it was great fun! I was also late to London- which was also not a great start. 
Dam you Suffolk Show. 

So anyhow when I first got to the train station, I thought I was at Kings Cross as we planned to meet at Kings Cross. However, as it turned out I had to walk out of the underground tube station and go across the road. Which was bloody terrifying because I hate roads and an other form of transport. 

ANYWAY- I got to Kings Cross and was like:I feel really nervous now. Before hand my hand was actually shaking because I was really nervous to meet her. So there I am standing at the platform when I get a text that she is outside. So I text her back saying for her to wait there. There I go outside and look around for her and can't find her. Thinking I won't recognise her if I meet. I turn around and jump and go: "Oh my god! Hello!" I scared Rebekkah....

That was the first time we met.

Later on, we decided to go to the Tower of London and walk around for a bit. I got the tickets and we walked in. There was far too many steps and I tripped up nearly every single one of them. Rebekkah also told me a lot about the history and I was amazed because I generally had no idea about any of it. (She is really intelligent).

Later on, we decide to go and see how long the queue is for the crown jewels. There we are looking at the massive line when I start laughing and I cannot stop. I start pointing at a random man and Rebekkah is quite confused. "oh my god- that is brilliant!" I laughed. I then went onto to explain that the man in front of us had Moriarty's London hat on and was going into the crown jewels.

Needless to say I thought it was funny.

After that we went to another tower where we, saw torture equipment that Tudors and other people used and jousting equipment. It was very cool but I had to snap a photo of the dragon. It was made out of scrolls and other bizarre things. 

  We then spoke about how boring The Queen's guards job must be. You can't move a muscle and you have to keep a straight face at all times. It is one job I could never do.


 Then this Raven just stopped and kept looking at us. It was pretty cool but quite weird because it was really big and just staring at the both of us. I did not realise quite how big they are. I then told her about the myth that if the Ravens' leave Tower of London- then Britain will fall. (I doubt this would happen).

It was a very strange experience walking around Tower of London. I wasn't sure to be sad or horrified at the history in this place. I think I was both actually.

Anyhow, we later walked out and went onto Tower Bridge.
 It was really not a very interesting experience. We then walked from Tower bridge up to London Bridge and then London Bridge to Tower of London. Needless to say, our legs both hurt very much.

As we were walking- I don't really want to get into the story because it is between me and Rebekkah but I said: "I want know now! Please tell me!" A man turned around and gave us the weirdest look. We both started laughing because we could not help it and the man ended up power walking away. Then we got the most filthy look of a woman- which really annoyed me.

Thenas we sat down and started having a conversation on a bench near the park near The Tower of London, we began to speak about personal things between us and a man turned around and gave us the filthiest look. Fortunately, for him, he did not realise my nickname was Jim for a reason. As we were speaking about going out with each other- he did this look. Homophobic arsehole. So I made this face at him:
 He went bright red and walked off and did not come back. Rebekkah could not stop laughing but then I explained why I had pulled the stupid face and we both started laughing.

Overall, apart from sitting in bird poo, dropping my food and falling upstairs- all of which she thought was really funny. It was a fantastic day and I literally did not want to leave her. I felt like crying actually. I don't know how I did not.
