    Optionals and excursions

    The week I spent in England was one of the best in my life. I saw things I never imagined I would or could. The Tower of London is mind-boggling because you get to walk the ground on which kings and queens have walked on. There are the iconic spots that everyone want to see like Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace.
