02:00pm, Tower Bridge & Tower of London
Fortunately, rain stopped, then we walked through Tower Bridge, and visited Tower of London.

Tower of London was so "Great", it was much more than I expected.
We walked around the Medieval Palace, the White Tower, the Crown Jewels, Tower Green. And the most impressive place is the Crown Jewels. There exhibit luxury jewels, crowns, plates and clothes.
In spite of such luxury, Tower of London used to be a dungeon and even some queens were killed in this yard. (Their heads were cut off!)
What a contrast, like a heaven and hell.

06:00pm, Busaba Eathai
For dinner, we went to Busaba Eathai, a Thai restaurant.
This restaurant doesn't accept reservations, so many people are queueing on weekends.
Inside the restaurant, it has an oriental atmosphere, which is stylish.
We ordered beer, of course, vegetables noodles, chili prawn stir-fry, and spring rolls, then asked a waitress, "Which is a popular plate?"
"Well, duck fry is popular."
So we ordered that. She didn't deceive us. It was really good.
All of us got satisfied, and went home.
