Hi guys and welcome to London! I'm actually not with Morten and Max
this weekend because I'm on a weekend trip with Christina! She is my good
friend and we've actually known each other for almost 20 years. 19 years this
summer next year over 20 years we went to boarding school together and the way
I remember it we kind of connected instantly but I don't know that's how
you remember it? You are friends with my roomie. That's right yeah so that's why
we got know each other yeah because I was there a year before she was and let
me just say boarding school in Denmark is not like the British or the American
version or Swiss even it's more like a hippy thing where you send your
teenagers for the ninth and tenth grade which is
14 15 16 17 yeah during that age so it's actually a really good time to get your
teenagers out of the house so you don't have to argue with them and we really
enjoyed it I finally have a weekend without being a mom and it was a lot of
fun just traveling here and not having to juggle the diaper bag and all of his
needs and just relax and actually have a little bit of a vacation we're enjoying
the view of the Tower of London right now and we're gonna go and see if they
have any opening spots that we can come in and see some jewels I don't know if
we can film that but let's go check it out
Let's go in!
We made it in here! Look at that behind me. That's awesome I love buildings did I
ever tell you that before? I'm betting you know by now. We are gonna start with
the crown jewels because that's something that we really want to see
both of us so let's do the most important first!
Okay so we made it through the crown jewels
and that was amazing! They had some crazy big diamonds on those crowns
You were hoping to see more tiaras
Some of them, that they wear for parties and things like that
Yeah. It's very history and only the ancient it is not really this stuff they
use now but to get in there you have to walk through
it's like security bank thing and the walls are at least three feet thick
almost 1 meter thick walls that was crazy it was like being in a Swiss bank
it's like.. my dream of a Swiss bank!
Christina my friend she's a teacher and she has heard this legend now we're not
sure if it's completely true we can't back it up with anything but there has
to be nine Ravens here, on these grounds for some reason
Otherwise London is falling! Yeah and that would be really bad. So, to keep at least nine Ravens here
they feed them apparently so they're down on the lawn I guess. That's weird! I know
That's legends. I guess that's what legends are for, to keep it weird, like Austin
I want to live on those small tiny streets and have that little garden I
don't know what's wrong with me but apparently the place I want to live is
the Tower of London it was just a prison so.. and a torture place but it's really nice now
We've been talking about today how much this is really incredible buildings but
it actually feels like an area of a city which is kind of funny I was not
expecting that oh I was expecting a museum and probably some ruins but we
were just saying that it feels like a living place and then I actually went up
and talked to one of the guards and asked him because these buildings behind
us they look like private houses where people actually live and he said
that the guards who guard this place there's about I think he said thirtyfour of them
Them and their families they all have accommodations here so
they live here they have a pub here they get married in the chapel up here we
cannot film inside of that but they get married they get baptized they have
wedding ceremonies for their kids all that kind of stuff and it's
only for people who actually live here so they just come walking back home at
night and go through the actual gate which is crazy but I think that's why
this place feels so special like it is a museum yes but it's not dead like people
actually still live here and keep it alive and I think that's what fascinates
me the most! It seems that that was the oldest house in England actually London
was finished in 1540 and it is a Tudor house and and but it was built for Anne Boleyn
which is kind of funny because she actually lost her head in this square as
well so it was but it's the oldest house
it's the oldest house in London so that's quite amazing!
We are at Borough Market! And it's a place where they have a lot of food
stalls and they have actually a food market too in there I think the
market itself is closing now, but we're gonna see if we can grab some food in
this area and then probably head home but the Tower of London museum today was
amazing it was actually a lot better than I thought it would be and I was
really pleasantly surprised not that I had low expectations to begin with, so
that's it from the video from today I hope you guys like coming along with me
on just a little girls trip with no family in tow! See you next time bye!
I actually thought I was done recording for today, but we stumbled upon this place
this restaurant where we're gonna eat and everything and
cocoa bean inspired and you guys know me, I've tried burgers everywhere and I
loved all and all kinds of different shapes and sizes and they have a
chocolate inspired burger here and I couldn't pass that up so I'm having a cocoa burger! That's awesome!
Look at this guys! There's actually chocolate in the middle of my burger so weird!
