Jack the RIPPER!

Luis, Leza, Michael, Lynn, and I signed up for the infamous "Jack the Ripper" tour. It starts on a hill overlooking the Tower of London. It was a cold and cloudy evening - the perfect setting for a tour dealing with London's most famous serial killer.

Sadly, most of the buildings that would have featured in the story have long since been torn down or blownup following World War II. We could however see the locations where a modern highrise now stands, but 200 years ago, a horrendous dastardly murder occured. We did get to see "The Bell" Pub, where one of the victims had her last drink and plied her trade for the last time.

The tourguide made the evening a very entertaining one, and I'd highly recommend the tour. Lynn, who doesn't like scary ghost stories jumped a few times.
