St. Paul's Cathedral

Rolf, Travis & Quinn climbed 257 stairs to the Whispering Gallery inside St. Paul's, then they continued another 271 stairs to the Golden Gallery at the very top of the dome. It is the highest level you can walk to in the church. At some points Rolf had to crawl up the stairs because it was such a small area. The view from the top was spectacular. They took 360* views of the city of London. On a clear day it is said that you can see 30 miles from the top, and it was pretty close to that today! I, on the other hand, decided to stay below. I spent my time outside the cathedral in the gardens and also spent a little time in the gift shop - well, of course!

The kids by a telephone box by the cathedral. What a Kodak moment!
