Today after a good night sleep we were rarin' and ready to go. Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This is an amazing homage to the British Empire. Every corner of the square is representative of the conquerer and the conquered. The main statue is of the Admiral Lord Nelson, whose victory at Trafalgar purchased another century of British colonial rule.
