London Day 7!

Hello all!

I'm having a bad tummyache now. I think it's because of the lack of fruits and water. Haha. Oh, and I finally got the title for my car from Felix. Paxton is officially mine!

And I watched an new episode of Hannah Montana and it has a new song by Hannah Montana and David Archuleta. It's playing now. So nice.

Ok, let's continue with London.

Day 7- 16 April 2009

It started raining that morning and didn't stop till the evening. So irritating but that's London's weather folks.

First stop of the day was to the London Bridge. I accidentally mixed the pictures of two different bridges together. The one with the towers is the Tower Bridge. The long stretchy one is the London Bridge.

And the Tower of London was actually quite short? Hahaha. But it held a wonderful gift shop.

And the Tower Bridge.

Upclose.

I forgot what building this was. Reminds me of a police division somehow.

The rain got so heavy at one point that we had to settle somewhere for shelter and morning breakfast.

The next stop of the day was the Tate Modern. An art gallery.

So true so true.

Outside Tate Modern was a river that was called The Bankside. Construction everywhere. Ruined the scenery. Haha. Left: St. Paul's Cathedral. Right: Millenium Bridge.

On the Millenium Bridge.

And St. Paul's Cathedral. Pretty place.


Hello!

The only picture I managed to snap inside because you need to pay to enter.

And for lunch, croissants and sandwiches again. Urgh.

And Police on horses!

Proceeded on to the other attractions after that. Stopped by this Military Gallery. Poor horses.

Look at his sad face. =(

They were going to be changing shifts any minute but we were rushing for time so we left.

And the ever popular, red London double decker bus. Didn't get a chance to ride on one though.

On the way to Big Ben and the London Eye, we saw this riot/strike going on. I used the zoom lens of cos. Didn't dare to go to near.

And Big Ben! And the House of Parliament where the Crown Jewels were housed.

I loved Big Ben since young. So happy that I finally managed to see close up. =)

Looks like some haunted mansion. Haha.

And in close proximity was the London eye. Didn't cross over to it so used the zoom lens to take pictures of the cabins. Haha.

It would have been a bad day to go up though. Gloomy, foggy etc.

Our next stop was the ever famous Buckingham Palace.

And the guards. Couldn't take a picture of a stationery one because they kept marching around.

Wide Angle Lens! I want you!

And dinner at some place where they served Singaporean/ Malaysian Delights! =)

And it was located in Chinatown.

Chinese Pastries! I miss you! Regretted not buying some back home. They don't have it back in Jackson Hole. =(

And we ended the day with a drink at The Exchange Bar. My first bottle of alcohol in close to 4 months. Seriously.

And I'm starting the overnight shifts from tomorrow onwards for the next 6 months. Going to try to enjoy it as much as possible. Wish me luck! Good Night!
