London Part II

After we toured the Tower of London we went to Hyde Park for  their Winter Wonderland. This is basically a larger version of our German Christmas Markets. Actually..most of the rides and vendors were German! After dinner it was back to the room to rest up for our tour to Hamilton Court Palace, Stonehenge, and Bath!
