Beautiful day in London today!

We had a great day seeing many tourist sites. Rode the top level of a classic double decker bus and then went to the London Dungeons. It’s a 90 minute haunted house kind of atmosphere walking you through the gruesome history of London - like 15 “scenes” with actors portraying history live with us as participants. It was very entertaining, scary but I actually learned a lot of the history. Unfortunately no pics allowed so only had the one they sold us in the end.

Then we headed to Kings Cross station to see platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter - or what they set it up to be for the tourists. Cute. On the same vein, then went across town to see the Abbey Road crosswalk. Funny to watch everyone try to get pics on an active street without a street light.

We walked thru Hyde Park, saw Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria fountain and then strolled thru St James Park. It was very beautiful.

We eventually hit Admiralty arch, and Trafalgar Square - the direct center of London. Down the street we saw 10 Downing Street, the amazing looking Parliament and of course Big Ben (which was smaller than I imagined). We finished off our day with a ride on the London Eye - takes about 30 minutes to make a full rotation. Each pod holds 25-30 people. Went really high and really cool to see the city from that vantage point.

Overall, it was a great day seeing the city. London is pretty cool.Читать далее

Путешественник Glad you’re enjoying London. We have our fast pass tickets for the London Eye on July 16th.,

Christie Mitchell We didn’t have a fast pass, and the line WAS extremely intimidating… but in reality, it moved VERY fast. When they’re loading 25-30 people at a time, it moves quick

What day is it??!
19 февраля 2023 г., Англия
We made it! 24 hours flying, 30+ hours in transit. The girls were brilliant (OK, maybe not brilliant- but definitely better than it could have been!) Not a lot of sleep throughout, but we have charged through the day today and heading to bed early. Jet lag is real (Audrey calls it plane rot…)
Lots of things ticked off on our first day. Took the tube and minded the gap. As we emerged into the sunlight with our first look at England (the industrial area around the airport) Olive declared ‘it is SO beautiful!’ 🤦🏼‍♀️
Surprised the girls with a double decker bus tour hosted by Paddington bear. The girls LOVED it… until the motion of an old refurbished bus combined with plane rot made things a little hairy.
We can see Big Ben from the front of our hotel, so have walked and seen some sights. Nick and I didn’t love London last time we were briefly here, but the architecture captured our hearts today (and the glorious blue sky reflected on the Thames might have helped).
Let’s hope for sleep for all tonight!
PS Squirrels are very cute 🐿Читать далее

Путешественник I am not good with heights, but I did it. I just about had a meltdown when nearly at the top they told us they had to reverse. It felt surprisingly stable, but I did not move from my seat, so all my photos are from that view with minimal movement.

Sonnenuntergang auf dem London Eye
12 февраля, Англия ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
Nach der Tour im Buckingham Palace gingen wir uns den Trafalgar Square anschauen, wo wir dann in einem Café extrem leckeren Kaffee und Kuchen genossen.
Auf den Sonnenuntergang hatten wir Tickets für das London Eye, welche wir spontan wegen dem tollen Wetter gebucht hatten. Unser Timing mit dem Sonnenuntergang war perfekt und es war eine wirklich schöne Erfahrung, da wir unglaublich weit sehen konnten und (Gott sei Dank) keinem von uns schlecht wurde durch die Höhe :)
Nach diesen ganzen Eindrücken machten wir uns auf den Weg zum Hotel, wo wir dann noch ein paar Bahnen im Pool drehten und im Restaurant zu Abend assen.Читать далее

Up and about this morning. Straight to the Hop-on Hop-off bus. We covered a lot of places. The photos below are of, in order:
The River Thames, Tower of London, Big Ben,
Gate to Buckingham Palace,
Trafalgar Square.

There are thousands of people here. The line-up to the Tower of London was huge.
We are heading back out tonight to have another look.

We met up with a friend, Rev Betty, from Australia who we haven’t seen for years which was lovely.Читать далее

Today we took the train to Herne Bay to meet up with Wayne’s friends, Paul and Hayley, who he has been chatting on Skype with for twenty years. We also met Hayley’s daughter Kristy, her husband Sam and their little baby Alex. The countryside is beautiful and the fish and chips by the sea was lovely. Thanks so much Paul and Hayley for your hospitality. We had a great time.

The Clock Tower, (photo below), is believed to be one of the earliest purpose-built, free-standing clock towers in the United Kingdom. It now serves as a memorial to the fallen of the Second Boer War.

Back at the hotel now planning what we’ll do tomorrow.Читать далее

Out and about today having another look around. We went to Platform 9 3/4 at King Cross Station to see if we could board the Hogwarts Express - no luck today I think it decided to go without us. Went shopping at the Harry Potter Shop for Betty (aka Casey) and Audrey (aka Mikayla).

We then wandered around the area where our motel is, looking at all the different touristy things and visited a souvenir shop - I love souvenir shops.

There are literally thousands of people here and the traffic makes Sydney driving look easy.

We had a day of sun, wind, rain then back to sunny and windy. Days are about 20 degrees which is just nice.

We had afternoon tea in the little coffee shop in the hotel. Shared a raspberry and custard tart and a cappuccino each. Check out the hanging cup and saucer display hanging from the ceiling of the shop (picture below). It’s so cute but I’d hate to be cleaning it. Would you like me to bring you one home Sandra?Читать далее

Up and off this morning to meet our Tour Director and check in for our Tour which starts tomorrow.

We then jumped on the hop-on hop-off bus again for another tour of the city. This time we got off at Buckingham Palace. Wow what an impressive building. Apparently King Charles didn’t get the email we were coming and to prepare the High Tea as he was not in residence. How rude!!!

At the front of Buckingham Palace are four Guard Boxes, when the King is in residence all four of these have guards in them. Today there were only two. This indicates the King has left the building.

Below is some photos for you to view. I also included a video of the Guard change at one of Guard Boxes.

Just down the road from the Palace we stopped at a little cafe and had bruschetta and a milkshake for lunch. Omg those milkshakes were to die for. I haven’t tasted one as good in a very long time.

Back on the bus and head back to our Hotel which took longer than normal thanks to the amount of traffic.

Another great day.Читать далее
