Trek to St. Paul's

On the walk we passed the Globe theater that Shakespeare made famous.
From the Globe the next step was to get across the Thymes and the nearest option was the Wibbly Wobbly bridge , also known by it official name the Millennium Bridge. It was unofficially renamed because of it had too much movement in the wind.
Our goal was St. Paul's Cathedral. It was the highlight of the month I spent in London during college. The pictures in the next post (actually previous post) were from the different levels of the dome. Yes you can walk up stairs to see a view of London that most will never see.

The first level you reach is inside and is called the Whispering Gallery-I believe 250 steps up. It is named that because you can "whisper along the wall" and someone over 70 feet away can hear you. The sound travels along the perfect circle designed my Christopher Wren.

The second level is an outside area just below the gray top of the dome in the picture - another 120 steps up. It is called the Stone Gallery. I guess because of the stone wall that separates you from the edge.

The final level is at the top just above the dome but below the top "Handle"-- another 130ish steps; it is called the Holy Crap Gallery. Actually, that is just the thought that escapes you mind after having climbed 500 steps. You can barely walk around the "ledge" single file and there is just a metal rail between you and the edge. There are some alcoves and that is where the people who are afraid of heights adhere themselves until their friends can talk them down.
