LONDON ESCAPADES: ANGEL ARMS IN THE FLESH
HEHE SOME OF THE DETAILS OF OUR STAY/VISIT AROUND THIS MAGNIFICENT CITY:
VISITED AND CLIMBED THE LONDON BRIDGE;
SAW THE TOWER OF LONDON (WHERE THE ROYAL JEWELS ARE BEING KEPT);
VISITED THE BIRITISH PARLIAMENT, AND THE WORLD-FAMOUS BIG BEN; IN MY OPINION THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT AND THE BIGBEN ARE THE FINEST LANDMARKS IN THE ENIRE WORLD; OF COURSE SECOND TO THAT IS THE EIFFEL TOWER;
VISITED WESTMINSTER ABBEY; IT WAS JUST BESIDE THE PARLIAMENT COMPLEX;
ALSO SAW THE LONDON EYE, THE LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL IN THE WHOLE WORLD (I THINK); 1 COMPLETE TURN TAKES 30 MINS TO FINISH. WE DIDN'T TRY IT COZ IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE (PHP1400 PER PERSON! NEVER MIND);
VISITED THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. PAUL; I THOUGHT I WAS ALREADY IN ROME! IT WAS SO MAGNIFICENT;
CROSSED THE MILLENIUM BRIDGE! ONE OF THE BEST WALKS I EVER HAD;
STOOD OUTSIDE THE SHAKESPHERE GLOBE, THE WORLD FAMOUS THEATRE;
TRIED TO BAZOOKA THE BUCKINGHAM HAHAHA KIDDING, BUT I SWEAR I THINK IT'S DOABLE, I MEAN THE GATE IS JUST REALLY CLOSE TO THE BUILDING ITSELF, NOT LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE;
TOOK A WALK ALONG ST. JAMES PARK, JUST BESIDE THE WALK OF PRINCESS DIANA;
WITNESSED AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE CHANGING OF THE GUARDS! WITH HORSES AND ALL;
VISITED THE HQ OF MI6: THE BRITISH SECRET SERVICE. TRIED TO LOOK FOR AGENT 007 BUT HAD NO LUCK. MAYBE HE WAS IN THE FIELD.. OR PERHAPS TAKING A VACATION;
VISITED THE GREENWICH INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE, WHERE EVERYTHING STARTS;
VISITED THE BRITISH MUSEUM, WHERE I SAW MY FIRST SACROPHAGUS (? SPELL CHECK), OBELISKS AND MINI PYRAMIDS; THERE WERE A LOT OF GREEK STUFF TOO!;
VISITED THE BRITISH NATIONAL GALLERY, AND FINALLY SAW THE WORKS OF DA VINCI, VAN GOUGH, MICHAELANGELO, RAPHAEL, ETC ETC... I WAS ALSO TOLD OFF BY THE SECURITY FOLKS FOR USING A CELPHONE INSIDE HAHAHA;
VISITED THE MUSEUM OF CHILDHOOD, BECAUSE HANS WANTED TO GO;
WENT TO HARRODS, BUT DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING. I MEAN I COULDN'T EVEN IF I WANTED TO;
CLIMBED NOTTING HILL;
WATCHED 3 MOVIES! THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED A MOVIE IN EUROPE. I COULDN'T DO IT IN FRANCE BECAUSE I KNOW I JUST WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE MOVIE;
VISITED A LOT OF MALLS! REALLY GREAT AND REALLY BIG ONES!
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST: WENT TO PLATFORM 9 3/4 IN KING'S CROSS STATION! I MEAN IT REALLY EXISTS! I THINK THE ADMIN OF THE STATION PUT IT UP FOR PUBLICITY. THEY EVEN PUT A SIGN OVER THE WALL AND A TROLLEY THAT WAS EMBEDDED HALF-WAY INTO THE WALL. I HAVE A PIC I'LL POST SOON!
