What All HAPPENED at the TOWER OF LONDON?? Lots of Sad History! Plus Thames River Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2022
- The Tower of London is one of those places that we just HAD to visit on this trip! There is so much history there! Good and bad… If you visit, you must take the guided tour from the Yeomen Warders. They are incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining.
There is a sad history of murder and torture here. But we must know the history so we don’t make the same mistakes!
We also got a close up view of Tower Bridge and took a great tour on the Ricer Thames… and yes, we now know we were pronouncing it wrong… sorry!

Hey guys, I'm a Londoner born and bred, I'm really glad you enjoyed your visit and you really made the most of it. Come back soon.
We absolutely fell in love with London!! We were actually back for a couple of days in September and will be back again!
Love this!! I wen to London for a week in 2019 with my teen boys and husband. What a trip. We are from Long Island and not far from NYC. NYC is completely different city vibe than London. It’s a great city but nothing compares to London.
Loved this series on London. Lived here all my life and still not done it all in 50 years! Like everywhere has good and bad points, but the view from Waterloo Bridge at night is one of my favorites. Love your enthusiasm and look forward to seeing more.
Great job 👏 Glad you enjoyed your time here 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸 I must say as a Londoner that has traveled a lot London is still my favourite city. I am nearly 50 years old and have t seen it all!
This has to be the best travel Channel. Doesn’t matter where you both travel too. It’s by far the most in-depth well documented video!! After years of watching travel shows, this is far more detailed and shows a tourist’s perspective!!! You’re London videos are far superior than any Travel Show We literally have such a high interest in travelling to London now. We probably will now as a stop over on our way to Rome next September Thank you so much!!!! Oh and didn’t realize you’ve already passed us twice on your way to Alaska. We’re in Campbell river Right smack in Discovery passage. Cruise ships pass by us each night!!
Thank you so much for this comment!! It means the world to us ❤️
💯👍
@@EECCTravels among the last prisoners kept at the tower of London was
Identical twin brothers / boxers/ British gangsters Ronnie and Reggie kray,
Both the krays were portrayed by Tom hardy in legend
I have been so obsessed with the history of England for YEARS! Thank you so much for sharing. I agree with Jason, New York does not interest me in the slightest! My plan is to be in England for about 3-4 weeks and go to all the castles and cathedrals!
If you love history - Go to York!
And if you come to England - try to get up to Edingburgh in Scotland!
Read about my ancestor's cousin Anthony Babington of dethink Manor of Derbyshire. It will bring history to life....and death.ending with his head on a spike on the tower bridge.
If you plan to visit all the castles and cathedrals you'll need several months minimum, there have been over 4 thousand castles in England alone with 800 still having visible remains. If you include historic houses and antiquities such as standing stones or circles then you'll need two lifetimes.
3/4 weeks is not enough time to visit all the 4,000 plus castles here xx
@@alisoncauser2955our ancestors cousin lol?surely you mean your ancestor?
Really appreciated your extended showing of the Yeoman Warder. They are all retired warrant officers (sergeant majors) in the British Armed Forces and most live in houses within the Tower. They are all great raconteurs and, whichever takes you on the tour, excellent guides.
Can they live there with their families?
Beefeaters!
True! It is also my understanding that it is of great privilege for the very few retired non commissioned personnel who actually get to be a Yeoman Warder. If you noticed during the Queen's funeral, the Yeomen did walk the procession. These are not just tour guides, but actual retired armed forces personnel, who assist in guarding the Tower, as I understand it. As you probably saw and know, outside of the crown jewels hall stand at LEAST two highly armed, armed forces personnel with automatic weapons. And yes, they can and will spring into action if required as I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone!). That is why your Yeomen was loud and proud. They are retired armed forces personnel who know and respect their positions, and are there to help you understand the Tower, and the history of the Tower. Your Yeoman Warder was fantastic! They are all different, and may tell you variations of what they know. What a tour! Highly recommend. And yes, they DO live in quarters on site and are on guard duty at times. That is why your Yeoman was talking about being on duty during the evening, and felt a chill go down his neck near the entry of the Traitor's Gate ... (he stated he did not believe in ghosts). They also have their own pub on site within the walls. I hope your Yeoman showed you that! Cheers, and thanks for all that you do! Also, if I'm wrong, I hope people who are in the know, help correct what I typed ... (-:
@@annother3350Yes
@@MrOranjNO..NOT Beefeaters, they are Yeoman Warders.. only daft Americans call them beefeaters..🙄
I’m a Londoner - loved your vids probably the best out there… great editing but your personalities are what make them soo good… looking forward to your return visit! Let us know when you’re here….
Glad you like them! That means a lot from a local!!
As a londoner i can honestly say i really enjoy your videos you guys are soo genuine and you have earned a subscriber love you guys
Thanks for this 😊 My husband and I were there in April. So happy to “visit” again. Love the London series ❤ Can’t wait to return
Gratifying to see you've been enjoying, and learning about our endlessly fascinating city. I was born here 70 years ago, and having tried 3 times to relocate elsewhere - here I still am, still enjoying the vast variety of life in "the Smoke", as London used to be called.
The Tower of London is one of those "must see" places definitely worth the entrance fee. (I think right now America could do with its' own "Traitors Gate" for 45 and his cronies!)
Ahem! - The Thames is pronounced "Tems", not "Taims". Sorry, but I just can't help it - my hackles rise every time you say "Taims"!
Happy travels, folks.
Got to get your politics in.
In polite society we do not comment on others politics, I think it is improper for this travel channel. Good day!
You're incorrect in your conclusion that I commented on "others politics". I simply made an off-the-cuff, and lighthearted comment about your ex-President. The comment I made may (I suppose), suggest to you what is my own political stance, but I implied nothing about "others".
As for what you "think is improper for this channel" - well we're both free to have our own opinions, and really neither are of great importance. Are you perhaps positioning yourself as some sort of moderator?
To use a modern idiom, "Geez, lighten up!"
(May I add, I've never heard of the UA-cam comments section referred to as, "polite society"!).
Wishing you too, a very good day.
Great video. Very enjoyable. It's impossible to conquer London as there is too much to see and do. My favourite part is slap bang in the middle, that barely anyone goes to. The Legal District, is mostly car free, historic, and beautiful. Full of secrets nooks and beauty.
So glad you had a great time guys. You both seem like really nice people and I hope you were made to feel welcome during your stay. Have a safe onward journey and I hope you make it back some day.
I often walk past the Tower and that's exactly what I always think. What must the city have looked like when it was built? What would all the people that were around then, and in the many centuries since, think about London now and everything that has happened in between? And what will it look like in another 1,000 years? That's why history is so fascinating and you did a great job of capturing it.
A thousand years ago, Norman London looked totally different to Roman London (Londinium) when they left 600 years before that. A completely walled city that had been partly taken down in places and many of the buildings, most in decay by Norman times, so the brick and stone (Roman Concrete as well, broken up) could be used.
I'm obsessed with your videos. My husband & I were just in the UK & on a British Isles cruise right around the time you both were there. It's been so fun to watch the experience through your eyes & you make me want to get back to London right away! thank you for your fun & informative travel videos. Can't wait to see your future experiences.
I stumbled upon your first video on your arrival in London and really enjoyed it. I've watched others but I really enjoyed this one and am so happy that you enjoyed your first visit to London. I'm English but don't live in London but have visited many times. London is fabulous and has loads of famous history which needs a long time to get round. I've never been to the tower of London unfortunately, but your video showed me a bit more than I've seen on some television documentaries. That meal towards the end of this video looked amazing, the chicken looked very good but the steak had me salivating ... yum yum. I hope that you return sometime soon and take in more sights of our capital before trying our many other sights around the UK. xxx
Same here, this is my favourite video not only of there’s but on You Tube
I love it when Americans visit my country. Their enthusiasm is so infectious and you both bring a great deal of this to your video. I suppose London is a great draw to foreigners but it's hardly experiencing English culture, a bit like me visiting Los Angeles or New York. The difference is of course your own Country is multicultural from it's inception and the UK has only been multicultural for about 50 or so years. London, being one of the most cosmopolitan places on earth so I don't think you had a single meal that was truly English including our famous Breakfast which was probably your most obvious omission. Please, please return and do another series, I would highly recommend you toured around Cornwall, The Lake District and Scotland and spent as much time in the rural areas of Britain where most of our culture, food, way of life and indigenous people now reside. happy travels!
The UK has been multicultural for hundreds and thousands of years. A good example of this is the ivory bangled lady. It's been invaded so many times.
Should have got the boat in the opposite direction to Greenwich. Some beautiful old naval buildings, Cutty Sark and the observatory with the zero line that Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is taken from. My favourite part of London.
The boat trip from Westminster down to Key Gardens is fantastic
The ravens are not always caged. You should follow the Raven Master (Chris Skaife) it will give an idea of how smart they are and how much they have a run of the Tower.
They are really intelligent. I took my son to London after his HIghschool graduation. We went to the Tower and while walking around taking pictures, we came upon a few ravens. One hopped on the fence and as I raised my camera I remarked, “ Now be good and let me take a picture.” He not only fluffed his feathers, but he turned from front to side pose which we took. We still laugh about it.
As Dr Johnson once said “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London, all that life can afford” - I have lived in and worked in “London” all my life and whilst I have been to all the usual and major “tourist attractions”, there are places and museums that I have yet to visit! It is fascinating seeing my home town through “your eyes” and seeing your interest and delight at things we just take for granted because they have “always been there”!
I haven’t been to the Tower or climbed inside Tower Bridge for about 30 years, haven’t done a river trip either for the same amount of time and have always lived in a town close to the River and could have easily just jumped on a boat to go to Westminster!
I have visited most of the Museums but have never visited the Victoria & Albert (V&A) or the Tate Modern and I haven’t even gone shopping in Harrods Department Store!
When you do next visit, try to come to ‘my’ part of England, whilst I live in the County of Kent, it is actually on the borders of Greater London - a 30 minute train time journey - and there is so much to see and do in the County. Greenwich is also a “must visit” (place of my birth!) - the National Maritime Museum, the Observatory, the Royal Naval College, the tea clipper The Cutty Sark, a beautiful park and - most importantly the Meridian Line - home of GMT - Greenwich Mean Time! As Greenwich is on the River Thames, you can get a boat FROM Westminster Pier to Greenwich!
Hope you can visit again soon 🙂xx and I will look forward to your next visit here and vids about your travels xx
Love the area around Greenwich and especially the pie&mash next to the Cutty Sark....gorgeous,been a few times.
Really enjoyed this series. The Tower Bridge is my favorite bridge. You really don't know how big it is until you see it in person, and walk across it. So beautiful. Also enjoyed The Tower of London - so much history. London is a fantastic city, and we also enjoyed our time there actually much more than we expected we would. Would definitely go back. Thanks for sharing. - Coreen
This London series was fantastic. You guys really captured the places you visited so that we, your viewers, feel like we were there too. Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Wish you had another week. Thanks for sharing.😎
Thanks so much! A lot went into your video. Really appreciate your attention to detail. Tower of London is the creepiest place I have ever visited! Looking forward to your next adventure. Hair is hair. You look great!
Great video, I served in the army with your tour guide John.
What a brilliant vlog! You've taken be to bits of the city where I live where I haven't been before!
I like your point that you should have done the boat trip at the beginning - when we go to new locations in Britain we haven't been to before, we do a sightseeing tour on the first day (a lot of places have those sightseeing buses).
This has several plus points - you can sit down and have a rest after travelling without wasting time in the hotel room; it helps you get your bearings in an unfamiliar location; and as you say the guide gives you suggestions of where to go
The River Thames (pronounced Tems) is a tidal river. When the tide is out people can walk along the bed of the river (this area is called the foreshore). People search along the foreshore and can dig in the mud looking for old artefacts that they can find. This past time is called mudlarking. There are UA-cam channels showing mudlarking finds, which you might enjoy. It's great seeing our capital through the eyes of newcomers.
Thank goodness someone corrected the pronunciation of the River. I almost threw something at the TV every time they said They-ems.😊
@@ricktaylor5397 It drove me nuts but didn't want to be rude.
So it's like tens (10s) with a m sound?
@@blissfuljoy6049 Exactly like that. It used to be pronounced with a 'th' sound but George I, who was German, couldn't say that and he said "Tems". In those days no one argued with the king so it has been the river 'tems' ever since.
@@carolineb3527 Interesting, thank you!
This was fantastic. Found your guys channel tonight and binged all your London vids. Great work 😊
I absolutely love the way you chose to see London, you did everything right, no rushing about, just stopping for pints and sitting down at restaurants. London can be overwhelming, but if you stop rushing and trying to do everything straight away and just stop and look around and take it all it, it can really be quite magical. You can see new cities or old cities but where else can you see a 500yr building almost right next to a new hyper modern glass skyscraper, I just can't get enough of london
LOVE to see the history from around the world, it's great for everyone to see and learn about history.
Really love your vlogs. Great personality’s. Honest reviews with an attitude of joy, positivity and wonder. Keep up the great videos. They tide me over waiting for my adventures.
You two are really good to watch, thanks for the video!👍
Just loved this video. Your enthusiasm was wonderful and it was a joy to see you have such a good time. Looking forward to your next visit to finish off what you missed. Plus future trips to Bath, Brighton … and don’t forget Wales and Scotland. 👍🏻😀
You're so right, you saw such a tiny amount of London and none of the wonderful places outside London, so I'm very pleased you plan to return. Your videos are very enjoyable and I've subscribed.
Thank you for sharing this experience! I've always wanted to visit London! Safe travels.
Fantastic video both ! Great humour. Great Music. Excellent !
Just discovered your channel and it is my new binge watch! You are such a nice couple and it warms my heart to hear how much you like my country/ capital city. I grew up about 2-3 miles from the tower and went there regularly when I was a child. Seeing your film it hardly seems possible that at that time was allowed to touch and play with most of the exhibits that are now behind glass. This was true until the early 1970's when someone planted a bomb within the armoury and everything was made more secure.
So glad you did the tour! The amount of people I know who have skipped the tour is just crazy to me. The Warders are superb!
This was another wonderful video. You both do a great job with the narration; alone and together. Every time I watch, you make me want to hop on a plane, or boat and see it for myself.👍🙂
Really have enjoyed watching you both and your experiences in our capital, glad you had a fabulous time and look forward to welcoming the pair of you back here soon. Thanks for your great videos
Really enjoyed the London series guys! I live here so is always great to see other people enjoying the city - thanks!
Great video, you always seem to be enjoyong yourselves. Informative and enticing, thank you.
Wow !...loved your video....I'm born & live in London & after 50 years I still see & learn new things here ...& You highlighted not just amazing history & sights but how great the feeling & atmosphere of the place is ...I even shed a tear of emotion ..when you were watching the sunset x
I’m English but I’ve loved following you around London. Makes me want to be a tourist in my own country.
Don't worry folks, Bath, Brighton (my home) and all the rest will still be here whenever you come back. Thank you so much for all the
brilliant videos of your adventures. You now go home with enough stories to bore your friends and family with for years. Thanks again,
it's been a great pleasure to have you here..................................the ancient Englishman.
Really enjoyed ur London videos can’t wait to watch your back catalogue .What a great couple could listen to both all day
I'm so glad you enjoyed my City, it is special and you make good UA-cam 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
Really enjoyed seeing London with you. Changed my perspective of the city. That's what education does!
Thanks so much
Loving this series. London is a goal for me! Gotta get there!
You should visit Greenwich to see the Royal Observatory and the Thames Barrier said to be one of the wonders of the world.
Glad you enjoyed the town of my birth. I know you did this trip a while ago. I no longer live in England but great to see you bring it to life! Americans often get London/England wrong, but you two have done it justice, looks like you guys fully immersed yourselves in its rich history and culture. Sadly some bad actors would love see our rich culture for better or worse destroyed. Bless you both.
Loving your enthusiasm for London!
Enjoyed watching your videos. Glad you enjoyed your visit to London so much.
Such a great vid. I normally skip TOL vlogs but you made it so interesting. Thanks for all the hard work editing and your kind words about my home town 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for this!!
Great video 💐🌸💐
I was born in London and spent more than Forty years living there. You guys make me want to go back.
Excellent video tours. Thanks guys.
Have loved watching your London trip.., I’m a country girl from the north of England and I love London but only get there maybe once a year. I’m not sure if you’d be able to get it in the US but there was a great documentary TV series in the UK based at the Tower of London showing the ‘behind the scenes’ life of the Yeoman Warders’ - I think you would really enjoy it
One of the most interesting videos from u that I’ve seen.
Just found your channel and really enjoying the content. Both of you are so entertaining and informative. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Mark and Sally from England.
You guys ate at my favourite London restaurant! the view is second to none and the food is epic. great selection of wine there as well. :) I have loved watching your London adventure, hope to see you come back again soon!
I love your enthusiasm, positive attitude and appetite.😎
I love history so all the cool stuff in this vid was great but the WOW moment for me was that steak. Nomnomnomnom
Love you tour of London,like your energy,so nice to watch
What an absolutely wholesome docu series you have done. Loved it. Glad you like the history. Remember there is way more to the uk than London. You got my sub.
Looks like you both had a really great time. Totally enjoyed your entire London series and I hope you get a chance to go back and show us more!
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in the UK. Good video. Daniel - UK
The great thing about London is that whenever a building is knocked down, the archaeologists move in before anything is built as you can guarantee something cool will be found!
Thanks for coming, glad you enjoyed our country!
I lived in London for twenty years and loved if...even after all that time I didn't see everything...one little side note, it is Tems to rhyme with gems not Tames..😊 enjoying all your vids in spite of the Dick Van Dyke accent lol x
Hope to see you back in the UK soon. Also love the way you pronounce Thames 🙂
Glad you enjoyed your visit 🇬🇧
If you saw people walking the edge of the Themes, they may well be mud Lurkers, people who dig and find London history. There are many on UA-cam that do this and find anything from Roman to Tudor to Victorian cast aways. It's a true river of history over the last thousand years plus, yesteryears rubbish to today's true treasure. Glad you loved London now explore the rest of the UK it gets much better.
mud "larkers" not lurkers work further down the river and not by the Tower
Lara Maikum (?) Is one of the best.
Absolutely Cool…Thank you so much!
My favourite escape story is that of John Gerrard. Heres the story off the internet
John Gerard had the unfortunate experience of being Jesuit priest during the era of Queen Elizabeth. It was a risky move moving to England know the fierce Protestant government and Gerard spent eight years living life on the edge. Many families housed secret Catholic priests who were constantly hunted down. Catholics were considered traitors during this period in English history, just as Protestants not too many years before. Gerard probably hid in the common “priest holes” which concealed a room to hold Catholic ceremonies and hide priests during searches. But in 1594, Gerard was captured by the government after being betrayed.
While in prison Gerard was tortured using manacles. He was suspended by his wrists and left to dangle with no support. According to Nigel Jones’ book, this questioning and torture lasted for hours. After multiple questioning sessions, Gerard’s wrists became extremely swollen and bruised. He was in agony, yet still remained stubborn. He suffered waterboarding sessions as well. Gerard was left unable to dress or feed himself due to his injuries.
Gerard would also befriend his jailor (like others before him), a Warden named Bonner. Bonner was sympathetic to Gerard’s troubles and helped him during the times he could not do many basic tasks for himself. Gerard began to see that influence over this man could work to his advantage. First, he had Bonner obtain cash from his friends on the outside which Gerard would use as money to continue bribing the Warden. He also used the money to buy oranges. It may seem strange how oranges connect to this story, but Gerard actually used them as a type of invisible ink. Gerard would write with the orange juice and this would become briefly visible when heated. Bonner would deliver these messages to Gerard’s Catholic contacts on the outside.
Gerard was able to contact another Catholic prisoner (John Arden) who was also imprisoned in the Tower and they began to create their escape plans. Using his new minion, Gerard sent messages to Arden and, eventually, got to hold private meetings in Arden’s cell. Soon Arden’s wife smuggled in rope during one of her regular visits, which would be valuable in their escape.
On October 3, 1597 the escape plan was put into action and a getaway boat was prepared outside the walls. Bonner (accepting bribe money but still clueless to the escape plot) brought Gerard to Arden’s cell and locked him in. Arden and Gerard broke the cell door which led to the roof and were about to climb down to the boat, but the tide changed causing the boat to drift away and almost get destroyed against the London bridge. There would be no escape that night.
The next evening the two men were again on the roof and watched the new getaway boat row up to the original spot. They set up the smuggled rope and the men at the boat secured it to the ground. Arden slid down first, but Gerard had a little more difficulty due to the injuries sustained from the manacle torture. He could barely hold on and began to fall, desperately clinging for dear life. The rope was loosening and one of the men from the boats had to retrieve Gerard himself. The men managed to row away silently.
But what happened to Bonner? The greedy (but clueless) Warden had allowed all of this to happen right under his nose. John Gerard never forgot about him and sent a letter warning Bonner of what happened. He told him to escape and promised him a lifetime annuity. Bonner took this advice and even ended up converting to Catholicism later in life.
John Gerard continued his Catholic mission in England as long as he could, but after the failure of the Gunpowder plot he left. He died in Rome in 1637.
I would defo recommend Greenwich I think you guys will really like it!! Love how much you embrace the history!!
Nice to have two such cheerful and appreciative people report on London. May I just very gently advise that Thames is pronounced "tems" but hey, hearing it "tames" just added that authentic American tourist flavour to really ensure I got to look at where I live through a fresh pair of eyes!😏 Glad you enjoyed your time here...
It's why I looked at the comments too. It really does make sense, the way they're pronouncing it (as it's spelt).... but it's 'The Tems' to each and every Brit. They're both really natural, effortless vloggers though....subbed.
Awesome video great job guys!!!
I just love my " London Town". Come back soon
Loved watching your adventures in London. I want to go to London too and visit all these places.
Lovely to see and reminds me how magical it is to visit a city one has travelled to before in dreams. I recall being in Venice for the first time almost 30 years ago - at the time I was living in London myself.
You should have gone up to the top of Tower Bridge and walked across the glass bottomed walkway. It freaks some people out. The River Thames is pronounced 'Tems' not 'Tames' - You need to come to the UK for a minimum of 2 weeks at a time, spend a couple of days in London exploring new things ( have you seen the massive silver vaults under London, or the Roman ruins? ) and then explore Bath, York, the Cotswolds, the medieval cities of Salisbury, Canterbury, Winchester, and so much more! - Great video!!
Amazing vid! Love you guys!
Found you guys first on your arrival to London video and I’ve absolutely loved seeing your adventure since! I’m going to London and Ireland for 2 weeks in November and your videos have made me SOOOO excited! You guys are awesome!
YAY! Ireland: Dont spend too much time in Dublin - It is cool but more like a central european city than an Irish one.
Get to the Ring of Kerry and Dingle ( Drive over Conors Pass!) And also check out Galway/Connemara
I'm so glad you enjoyed my home town so much. I am very well travelled too, currently residing in SE Asia, and to see your excellently shot videos of London makes me truly homesick. It's been nearly 5 years. I think, maybe, now it's time to go home.
Loved your UK videos, and so pleased you had a great time. You both deserved it, you put in some great work. I hope you get to the British Isles again, and good luck on your travels.
I’ve watched this video 3 times now, it’s my favourite video on You Tube, what a view of Tower Bridge for your meal!
Thank you! I enjoyed this immensely.
So happy you enjoyed my city. I always feel blessed to live here. Hope to see you guys back here soon x
New York is AMAZING! Go there for sure - I am sure you won’t regret it.
Really enjoying your London videos- it is on my bucket list.
Loved seeing the city…..thanks!
Thank you for showing the beefeater explaining the history,I've been before but years ago,and had forgotten most of it..
Can’t wait to have you both back ❤️
I’m a Londoner born and bread and I totally agree with you. I’ve been to many cities across the world and nothing compares to London. It has everything and is truly special.🏴🇬🇧⚔️
Great interesting and entertaining video. Just to add, in case you didn't know, that a Royal Air Force pilot, Alan Pollock, on the 5th April 1968 flew a jet fighter between the upper and lower spans of Tower bridge. This was totally unauthorised and it was his way of protesting against the government of the time and their actions on defense cuts and other things.
Really enjoyed your London videos. Great tips and pointers for visitors. Took me a few days to get to grips with the underground when I started using it. The river is spelt Thames but pronounced Tems and Big Ben is the largest bell at the top of the Elizabeth tower.
Looking forward to your videos on the next visit.
Hey neighbor!! I am waiting to do what you do when I retire!!
20:16 That's such a great point Elisa made, If any of us could still be alive 800 years from now I'm sure our minds would be blown in the changes which would have taken place during 8 centuries!
Wow this was great, I'm not much on history but I really enjoyed this vlog, thanks for sharing. I'll not be able to go there but learned some things watching this. Again Thank you
