Hat alles prima geklappt! Wir hatten Tickets für 09:00 Uhr und der Einlass zum Tower und die Kronjuwelen hat beides prima und zügig geeklappt. Gute Zeit, da es noch nicht so voll ist. Als wir dann gegen 12:30 gegangen sind warces schon ziemlich voll und dies entspannt Schlange bei den Kronjuwelen sehr lang
