Day 8 - St. Paul's Cathedral

It was an early morning rise and a somewhat delayed departure. The plan was to get up at 7am, which did occur and then get out the door by 8am – that did not happen. However, we did get out by 9am and went straight to the Bus tour stop and bought an all day Hop-on Hop-off bus tour pass with One Tour. We were going to buy one the other day, but thought otherwise. It’s crazy – when you travel you always have so many plans in your head – regrettably or not they do not also come to fruition. Our motto has always been – “It all happens for a reason!”

On to the bus we hopped. First stop was St. Paul’s Cathedral. I know, another church, but this one was just as amazing as the last. When you truly see the craftsmanship and detail of all the work and then think how it had to be done back in the 12th or 16th century – WOW! The church offered an audio tour, which both of us opted to do. As we came it and as was told to us in several place, there was no photography allow within the church. It was strictly prohibited. Somehow, my camera must have gone off accidentally.

The cathedral had three areas, but we only visited two. The third was the dome section and I think the notion of climbing over 500 stairs gave Anna the non-desire to see what was up above. Trust me when I say there was plenty to see down below.

We strolled around the cathedral for about an 1.5 hour and eventually headed out for a bit of lunch.
