August 1st--2nd day in London: We stopped for breakfast and headed off to see more sights, beginning with the London Eye ferris wheel. Afterwards, we went to the London Dungeon to watch actors portray different ways that people were tortured and the various torture tools that were used way back when. It was supposed to be funny, and the actors were great. Sorry, no photos!

We had baskets of fish and chips for lunch. The fish is pole or line
caught in the area, and the skin is left on the fish before it's battered
