John our guide took us into the Tower of London and he described the history of the Tower pointing out the different buildings and their use over time. The ladies liked the Beefeater Uniforms. We got to see the Crown Jewels which were dazzling and astonishing in their displays. There were 204 steps we had to ascend and descend in the White Tower which is the original Keep of the complex. It contains may displays of armor for both man and beast. Before we exited the Tower, complex we went into the torture chamber rooms which has several implements on display. Some of the pieces reminded me of a Physical Therapy facility I had to go to a few years ago. It s good to live in the current age where the equipment does not have those spikes!
