London - Wicked

First of all, ended up not going to Tussaud's. It would've simply taken too much time. XP

But no worries, I'm already planning a long weekend in London in the autumn.

The sky looks very different here and the clouds seem to be lower. I've fallen in love.

Arriving to London.

That big stadium is for the Olympics.

This post will probably be mostly pictures and captions as it's already three in the morning and I should already be sleeping. ^^'

So, our first stop after arriving at Embankment was to Baker street; by Tube, of course. And it really wasn't that difficult!

The statue on Baker Street. You know who it is. ^^

Then, seeing the line at Madame Tussaud's we decided that we can do better things with the day than just stand in line. So, off to the British Museum.

There's Venus, someone, a mourning woman, Alexander the Great, Antinous and again someone

A statue of a cat and cat mummies - at some point they were used as fertilizer.

Stone of Rosetta.

After one and a half hours we left for Covent Garden and did some shopping - I just bought a caricature of myself. XD

I got a kiss from a statue on the way. XD

Yeah, that's me... ^^''

From Covent Garden we walked to the Houses of Parliament, through St. James' Park, by Buckingham Palace to Victoria. There we went to see Wicked.

Trafalgar Square. Packed with people and the traffic's crazy.

Street views.

The Black building you can see is 10 Downing Street. A very important home.

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Westminster Abbey. <3

At St. James'

Buckingham Palace.

Last view of St. James'

And now, pardon the pun: It was wicked! Maybe more about that later.

And then back home, to Cambridge, by bus. Now I can only hope everyone got home safely, because the cab driver didn't actually seem that clever. We had quite an adventure. -.- Oh, well, I'll know in the morning when we go to Stratford.

Good Night! (at 3.21)
