London day 2
2 april, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
First full day in London! Started off by heading to breakfast before we took the tube to Buckingham Palace. Which was definitely underwhelming except for the fact that we caught these guards doing something on horses :)

After we went to Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey (tickets were sold out to get inside the Abbey so that’s for tomorrow) Then to Tate modern art gallery and Trafalgar Square.

Lunch was in Southbank, then we went to the Borough food markets and walked across the London Bridge. Legs are absolutely dead so it will be an early night 😵‍💫Meer informatie

Westminster Abbey
3 mei 2022, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
An incredible amount of history in this building. The place where monarchs are crowned, heroes are interred, and daily worship goes on to this day.

Westminster Abbey, a timeless masterpiece and a symbol of British history and royalty. Situated in the heart of London, this iconic Gothic cathedral has witnessed centuries of significant events, including coronations, weddings, and funerals of British monarchs and distinguished figures. As you step through its grand entrance, you'll be awestruck by the soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and elaborate medieval architecture. Explore the Poets' Corner, where literary legends find their final resting place, and marvel at the beauty of the Lady Chapel. Westminster Abbey's rich history and spiritual significance make it a must-visit destination, offering visitors a profound sense of awe and reverence for the past.Meer informatie

Dag 10
Coronation Day, Westminster
6 mei 2023, Engeland ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
Suzie - As Nik has already said, plans for today got scuppered and while it was beyond my control, I wasn't happy that I needed to watch part of the coronation on my phone!! What the?! Apparently the Mayfair Garden Party peeps copped a lot of complaints. Good!! However, singing God Save The King with other people in a pub in England on Coronation Day was pretty special.

Anyway enough of that, the rest of the day went pretty well and Phantom of the Opera was phenomenal!! I have seen Phantom 4 times now, twice in Brisbane and twice in London at her Majesty's Theatre, the home of Phantom 💜💜💜 It's another late night, but it's our last night in London!! Well, before we come back here to leave the UK in 3 weeks time 😀😀😀 Many more adventures to come, tomorrow we are off to Chester!!Meer informatie

The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245. It’s one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart.

Dag 4
Big Ben and Westminster Abby
16 april, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
After lunch, we walked to St. Martins in the field, home of Sir Neville Mariner and the St. Martins in the Field Orchestra. Tralfargar Square is right actoss the street. Impressive even in the rain. Then, down the street that housed all the political buildings. We saw the changing of the guard by the King's Own Mounted Guards. Downey Street, which is controlled access with security. We took a picture under Big Ben and learned that it was attached to the House of Parliament. Learn something every day! We walked around Westminster Abby but decided we were not interested enough to pay 40 pounds each for the tour. One note of interest. The coronation processions of kings and queens have passed by Westminter Abby since 1066. We decided to go home and take a nap before dinner.Meer informatie

Nous sommes allés assister à la relève de la garde à Buckingham Palace. 💂‍♂️
Il y avait beaucoup de monde et la place est vraiment grande, nous n’avons pas pu voir toute la cérémonie, notamment tout ce qu’il se passe à l’intérieur de la cour restera un mystère pour nous.Meer informatie

Ein paar Sehenswürdigkeiten 😁
20 oktober 2023, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Heute ging es auf große Tour, wir sind am Buckingham Palace vorbei, sehr beeindruckend und durften noch einen kleinen Aufmarsch der königlichen Wache beobachten. 🇬🇧
Wirklich ein cooles Erlebnis.
Danach ging es an der Westminster Abbey vorbei zu Big Ben. 😎
Dann hat auch schon der Hunger gerufen und es ging in den Borough Market.
Top Markt, mit allerlei Leckereien.
Für mich gab es dann auch ein bisschen Glück für mich 🕊😅

Danach ging es dann mit dem Bus 🚌 nach Brick Lane, ein cooles angesagtes Viertel.
Dann heißt es erstmal wieder in die Unterkunft, ein bisschen ausruhen. 😌Meer informatie

News: BIG BEN is FREE again.

Heute stand eine kleine Sightseeingtour auf dem Programm. Auch wenn die kleine Muschi nicht ganz so begeistert war, ist es trotzdem Pflichtprogramm sich das ein oder andere in dieser tollen Stadt anzuschauen.
Nach dem Frühstück ging es als erstes zum enthüllten BigBen. Nachdem wir ihn mehrfach eingehüllt gesehen hatten, ist er nun endlich wieder frei.
Anschließend haben wir uns noch Westminster Abby von außen angeschaut, wo königlich geheiratet wurde.
Über die vollen Straßen von London sind wir über Horse Guards zur Downing Street 10 gelaufen. Mr. Johnson haben wir nicht gesehen, deshalb ging es weiter zur Queen. Vor dem riesigen Buckingham Palace haben wir die Queen's Guard
in ihrer Paradeuniform aus roten Jacketts und Bärenfellmützen, die den Palast bewachen beobachtet. Zum Schluss ging es dann noch zur Tower Bridge.
Ein Foto von der Crew durfte natürlich nicht fehlen.
Ausgehungert ging es zum Fish&Chips essen. Den Covent Garden haben wir natürlich nicht ausgelassen & pünktlich zum Feierabend haben wir in einem coolen Pub noch ein Bierchen getrunken.
Am Folgetag, wo Falk und Niklas irgendwo in Köln rumgestanden hatten obwohl das Ziel eig. Düsseldorf war, sind Bobbiii und ich noch etwas durch die Straßen geschlendert; die Carnaby Street ist hierbei sehr zu empfehlen.

Bevor es zum Flughafen inkl. Schienenersatzverkehr ging, gab es noch eine köstliche Viererkette; Shake Shack.

Wieder daheim, heißt es volle Konzentration auf Donnerstag, sodass ich hier noch einen weiteren Eintrag, erneut von Sevilla posten kann.

Daumen drücken & #aufjetzt Adler ! 🦅Meer informatie

Big Ben
3 mei 2022, Engeland ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Lots of work going on, couldn't go in.

----

Standing tall and majestic on the banks of the River Thames in London, Big Ben is an iconic symbol of British history and culture. Often used to refer to the entire clock tower, Big Ben technically refers only to the massive bell housed within. Nevertheless, the tower and its resounding chimes have become synonymous with the city's identity. With its stunning Gothic architecture and four illuminated clock faces, Big Ben is a sight to behold, particularly when it comes alive at night. As one of the most recognized landmarks in the world, visitors from far and wide gather to witness the clock's melodious chiming, which has marked London's time for over 150 years. Its presence near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey adds to the historical significance of the area, making Big Ben an essential stop for any traveler exploring the vibrant city of London.Meer informatie
