26 May to 28 May 07


London
Weather was very bad...Quite unexpected...I brought knee length shorts...:(

Raining non stop...


we bought a stupid umbrella for 5 pound!!!
equivalent to SGD$15...trying to rip us off!!!!

After a good nite rest in London Backpackers Hostel, we went out...
having an aim in mind...To witness the London well-known Guard Changing...


It was freezing cold... I brought a blanket out and wrapped it around myself ...hehehe.. by the way,FYI, The blanket was kapok-ed from KLM flight...keke..opps

Took Some random pic...walked around the city...


After walking past the big St James park, we came to Birmingham Palace...
Patiently waiting for guard changing




To our disapointment, there was no grand guard changing ceremony due to the rain. Their uniform for rainy days is so not stylo....:(


Anyway, after that,we took a stroll in St James park......enjoying my home-made sandwich






Continued walking...Headed back towards Big Ben....

Big Ben



Crossed the bridge to the other side of Thames River


City Hall
Tower Bridge

I always thought Tower Bridge refers to London Bridge...but no...They are two different bridges....But u can see London Bridge from the Tower Bridge..

Tower of London

2nd Highlights of the Day...

Take the BRITISH AIRWAY LONDON EYE...

quite ex to go up...

Ticket: about SGD$40

Our motto: Money can be Earned...Live with no Regrets...

Romantic Indeed...but the bad thing was that the EYE stop operating at 8pm...and at 8pm, the sky was still so bright...so we didnt manage to catch the LONDON's night scenery...

Other places that we went was their Chinatown...
Their Peking Duck was YUMMY!!!!!

Since the prices in Chinese restaurant was comparable to those London's Cafe, we chose to dine in the former.



The pic below was taken along the shopping district in LONDON....

Shops close at 6pm...:P..bad bad bad...



On the last day, we wanted to go to MUSIC OF SOUND...

reached their entrance,found out that their entrance fee was 20Pounds

SGD$60!!!!!

cost more than my flight from STOCKHOLM to LONDON...

we turned back...headed back to the hostel...hahahaha...

Well....
My Overall Summary of LONDON

Let those photos say it all....
