You can feel the history - just! The sheer volume of visitors tends to take the edge off a typical trip I think. Your evening visit is definitely the way to do it.<br /><br />Didn't you find the crown jewels just a bit... well, tacky though?Cocktailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091341579556869010noreply@blogger.com
