We had to sneak off to London to
renew passports and decided to go on Sunday and play the tourist game. One thing that has been on the list for quite some time was to attend Hillsong, a church in London. This is a church that started in Australia and has now planted churches in places like Kiev, Moscow, Paris, New York, Cape Town, and Stockholm. Some of the music we sing in our church in Cambridge and that we sang at PC3 back in Wilmington came out of Hillsong. We went to the Sunday night service at 6:00 PM. They have 4 services on Sunday's at this location and given the day was nice and sunny, we decided to go after dark.
The church meets in one of the West End Theater's where the musical 'We Will Rock You' is staged, which is a Queen musical extravaganza. It is a beautiful theatre that was built in 1928 and seats almost 3000 people. It was a really cool experience and the energy was through the roof. The message and outreach was exceptional as well.
Decided to hit some iconic tourist spots on our passport trip. Of course, most would not count the vaults under the Hard Rock Cafe as a iconic but we decided it would be cool. There were things like Madonna's corset and Sting's guitar. The vault itself used to be a bank vault and the Queen kept her coffers there. Come to find out, they also kept Princess Diana's wedding dress. 
We then hopped around other sites like the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. Both were most excellent.
It is quite interesting to think that the Tower of London is one of the most famous towers that people think about. But compared to places like Edinburgh and Dover, it really lacks that impressive, hilltop massive size. The history is also quite dark and violent. Tower Bridge is a very cool tour. The engineering that went into it was quite impressive.
