England: Day 2

London

We took the weekly pass for London's tube and buses. All in about GBP25. Its a fair price to pay considering Hop-on Hop off buses 1-day tour goes for about the same price.

We covered most of the touristy stuff today...

1) We saw big 151 yr ol Ben

2) Westminster Abbey
no pictures coz it was Sunday mass

2) Houses of Parliaments
Its actually a lot more massive than the picture
4) London Eye
5) Thames River Cruise
with a bunch of orange heads6) London BridgeSo not what I imagined it to be...
I guess London Bridge IS Falling Down
You gotta check out the full version of the song...here!

7) Tower Bridge
A lot fancier than London Bridge
8) Tower of London
The tower of London was a royal residence as well as a military stronghold in the Middle Ages. Plenty of things to do (we spent half the day there)...There were reenactment of wars, people walking around in costumes, armories exhibition, the crown jewels, etc etc. Definitely a recommended tour for the family.

9) Lobster Noodles
I really dont remember which restaurant!! But it was Chinese food
10) Met up with Tashie...Good to finally see her in London too :)
