This is the type of war horse Henry VIII would have had in his military. To the right of the horse is the armor (yes, it's the littler one) his soldiers would've worn. Notice how very different it is from the armor to the left of the horse. Each king designed his own war attire, so armor varied greatly from king to king.
This is the ACTUAL battle armor of Henry VIII made specifically for him. Notice that his horse also had its own armor.
This is a closer picture of the above armor. Notice the initials he had put on his armor ("H" and "A")before he decided he was no longer interested in Anne.
The "walking stick" in the middle belonged to Henry VIII. Click on the picture to get a closer view.
And this, you lucky people, is what the bathrooms looked like. This is an ACTUAL toilet in the Tower. Yes - kings and queens (including Henry VIII, Elizabeth, Mary, Anne, Catherine) all used this toilet!! It's hard to see... they had it blocked off with a glass wall, so this was the best picture I could get. The wooden bench is what they sat on. The bench had a hole in it... You figure out the rest...
This is the view of London from the top of the London Eye. You can see the Parliament building in the bottom left corner which is also where you see Big Ben (the big clock).
Click on the video to hear Big Ben chime. (Look at that sky! You can truly see God's handiwork!)
And just for fun:
This is what happens when you fall asleep on a train and your brother and sister find your camera... Aren't they mean to me????!!!!!
And this is a picture of my sister and me being the dorky tourists that we were.
More to come soon...
