London: Last Day

The last day of the trip we had free time. So we went to Nothing Hill's Gate where is a market: Portobello, but that day, Portobello's Market wasn't "open".
Portobello is a market where you can buy a lot of different things, things for the kitchen, clothes, there's a part of second hand, etc.
The problem was that the market is on sundays. However, in the same street there were some shops.
And finally, we returned to the hotel at the hour to take the cases. Then we went to the airport Stansted and... we come back to Catalonia!!!

London: Third Day

The third day started visitting St Paul's Cathedral. We wanted to enter but we couldn't because it was closed. After we went to Shakespeare's theatre. While we were walking we passed across a bridge which's was the newest one of the city, it's known as "Millenium Bridge". This bridge was opened in June of 2001. It has been designed by Norman Foster. It connects St Paul's Cathedral with Tate Modern and the bulding of Shakespeare Theatre. A guide explained to us the history of the theatre and Shakespeare. Afer all this we had free time and we went to eat.
After having lunch we went to Tower of London, we didin't enter but we searched for somethings realationated with the building as "Beefeaters". These are guides of the castle. Also we discovered that they cut the wings of the crows, so they couldn't fly. There's a legend say that if the crows desappear also will desappear the monarchy.
After we went to see the Tower Bridfe, the most famous bridge of London. The curious of the bridge is that the central part of the bridge can be opened. Then a big boat can pass. This only during sixty seconds.
After of this we returned to the hotel.

The flight was quick because in two hours, more or less, we arrived to the airport of Stansted.
