Today we did the Tower of London and hung out with Phil the Beefeater. He lives inside the Tower of London and says it's hard to order a pizza when you want one. I went on my elephant safari and found my first elephant at the Tower. I saw where Anne Bolyn or Ann Boleen and Ann Bowling (which is like lawn bowling only with a double handed sword and her head as the ball). If you get your head cut off this way you can still look around and mumble a few quiet words for a bit. That's what Ann did. They have a sort of glass pillow where she lost her head (well she didn't lose it, I think it went into a basket or something). Then they buried her beneath the chapel floor. There are 20 towers at the Tower, that's 6 on the outside wall, 13 in the interior wall and the White Tower in the middle. We saw the crown jewels, stole the two super giant diamonds and made our getaway (oh and I bought a pen so I had a bag to put the diamonds in). Then we snuck away across Tower Bridge and over to City Hall where Grammy used the diversionary tactic of using the bathroom (which required id and bag searches) and we pretended to be tourist and took like a million zillion pictures of me on all the elephants, even one where you can look through a little glass bubble and see me looking through another glass bubble.
After hiding the diamonds and a super giant, solid gold, punch bowl with snail shaped ladel, we went to Covent Garden on our continued Elephant Safari. We found even more elephants and took another million zillion pictures. Then we had dinner at a super cute little restaurant called Boswell's where Mr. Boswell said, "Livingstone, I presume". Will he did hang out with Dr. Johnson back there in 1759. It's the oldest independant cafe in the area. It has a website at www.boswells-conventgarden.co.uk
Then we went to Drury Lane to see Oliver. We had super nice seats and it was pretty good that show. I liked Nancy the best, she was pretty.
Then we went home and ate' Chocolate cadbury buttons. That's when I realised I left the world's biggest diamond at the Clonakilty elephant. I would have gone back but my paws were too tired from so much walking.

Okay, I was confused. I thought Johnstone and Livingstone were the same person. I'm a dog for heaven's sakes, what do you expect?
