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)
