      Tower Bridge

      April 30, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Suzie - While we were too late to get tickets to go up the Tower Bridge (having too much fun at the Tower!), we did walk over the bridge and back to Tower Hill tube station. It was fabulous and seeing the look on Nik's face 😀😀😀

      And we even went down to the banks of the Thames!!! I've wanted to do that for ages!!

      Nik - I've obviously seen the bridge in TV many, many times. The pictures don't do it justice. It's simply stunning.

      Tower of London

      July 7, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Little walk around the Tower of London before the Tower Bridge.

      It was founded toward the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and was a resented symbol of oppression.Read more

      Today was our Tower of London and Tower Bridge day 😁It was so much fun being at these two sites, the castle was amazing, we enjoyed our time spent there! Tower Bridge, which was right next to the Tower of London, was beautiful!! After visiting these two locations we decided to go get some lunch at a place Kayla had been wanting to take us called Wagamama, it was delicious!!! 😋 She got a curry rice bowl and I got spicy steak ramen bowl, they both super good!!

    • Day 1

      Tower Bridge & Buckingham Palace 🌟

      July 8, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Ночко си беше пожелал: “В Англия сме, искам да ни завали английски лондонски дъжд. Не много, нали, цял ден, ами само малко” и така и стана. След като излязохме от Sky Garden започна да вали леко и докато спре се бяхме придвижили до Tower Bridge вече. Снимките бяха задължителни, даже видяхме и как се отваря мостът, за да мине една по-голяма лодка ⛵️ и тук късмет ☺️🍀
      Минахме по него и се разходихме от другата страна на реката. Тео и Наталия малко ни разочароваха, че тези червените телефонни кабинки били в много неугледно състояние по улиците и намерихме една друга, която беше на закрито и функционираща, за да си направим снимки с/в нея.
      Искахме да седнем да обядваме някъде, но цените бяха много високи в местните заведения (pubs) и затова си взехме по един сандвич, снакс и напитка за по общо 3£ на човек от един супермаркет и ги изядохме на гледка към моста 🥰
      Също и взехме един от тези червени автобуси на два етажа, за да стигнем до една от главните улици, Oxford Street. Тя беше претъпкана с хора, всякакви сувенирни магазини под път и над път… нямаше как да не се влезе и в Дисни магазина, аз се снимах с моята принцеса, докато Ночко обикаляше да разглежда други неща.
      Късния следобяд стигнахме и до Бъкингамския дворец и точно тогава се сменяше войската отпред, имаше мини шествие, което снимахме.
      И понеже бяхме ходили доста и бяхме уморени, се запътихме към вкъщи след това. 50 минути с метрото до тях и оттам си взехме Fish&Chips за вечеря.

      Tower of London

      July 20, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Spent the morning touring the Tower of London, going to the Crown Jewels display first. The displays and exhibits seemed to have changed a lot in layout since Lori and Karl were here last.

      Had lunch at the cafe here. Made a 4:30 p.m. reservation at The Drawing Room at Browns Hotel for afternoon tea prior to theatre tonight.Read more

    • Day 15

      Tower of London

      July 21, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Last, but not least. A visit to one of London's best tourist attractions - The Tower of London. Anything dating back to 1066 and still in good condition is worth visiting.

      A great way to finish an eventful few days in London. Also a great location to see the contrast between the old and the new.Read more

      London - Tag 1 🌉🍺

      August 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Nach der Abgabe des Mietautos 🚗 ging es mit der Underground 🚇 ins Hotel 🏨. Dieses lag zentral an der Liverpool Street Station. Heute hatten wir keinen Fixpunkt mehr auf dem Plan, deshalb schauten wir uns die Umgebung etwas an. Fuessläufig ging es zur Tower Bridge. Diese 1894 eröffnete Brücke ist für mich eine der schönsten der Welt 🌍. Ihre massive Bauweise und dazu die türkis-weisse Farbe sind einmalig. Dort gab es für uns ein Bier 🍻. Zusätzlich regnete ☔ es zur Abwechslung mal wieder😉.Read more

    • Day 4

      Tower Bridge and Covent Garden 🧀🌉🍻

      August 12, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      South Bank y Waterloo son las zonas que visitamos tras nuestra vuelta al centro de la ciudad en DLR (Docklands Light Railway), una red de trenes sin conductores en los alrederores este y sudeste de Londres 🤯

      Ahora sí pasamos por el London Eye y el Big Ben, donde me hago las reglamentarias fotos turísticas, si bien es imposible hacerme una con las cabinas de teléfono y la torre del Big Ben de fondo por las filas de gente que hay. Prioridad ahora que se nos ha sumado Lucía: buscar un bar 🤭

      El sitio al que vamos en Covent Garden simplemente me encanta, es un estilo a los bares japoneses en los que los platos de sushi van llegando en una cinta mecánica pero esta vez son platos de Queso! 😍🧀

      Antes de irnos de Covent Garden pasamos por Neal's Yard justo en el momento en el que se encienden las luces ✨

    • Day 5

      The Tower of London

      August 14, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Once we had finished visiting the Tower Bridge and its machinery, we went to the nearby Tower of London and its treasures.
      The castle is quite impressive, both in size and in the way it still is in use, as Yeoman Warders are still inhabiting the place with their families.
      The Tower of London is of course famous for hosting the jewels of the British Crown, but no photos, sorry, they are not allowed 😞
      After an afternoon tea in one the cafés inside the castle, Elliott and I added a short visit of the Fusilier Museum, and then we headed to Pénélope's surprise evening.

    • Day 21

      London:Tower & Notting Hill

      August 20, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Heute haben wir Karten für 11:30 Uhr, um den Tower zu besichtigen, also müssen wir uns am Morgen etwas beeilen. Dank der Online-Reservierung, kein Schlangestehen, gar nichts. Wir kaufen uns noch eine Audiotour und mit Kopfhörern ausgestattet geht es auf Erkundungstour: Whitetower, Wachtürme, die berühmten Raben und natürlich ein Blick auf die Kronjuwelen werfen. Fotos dürfen dort leider nicht gemacht werden, aber dafür lässt sich Elin dann mit einem Beefeater ablichten, der königlichen Leibgarde des 17.Jahrhundert und heute Ordnungstruppe des Towers. Direkt am Tower gehen wir aufs Schiff, denn im Hop-On/Hop-Off-Ticket ist eine Themsefahrt dabei. Wir fahren unter die Tower-Bridge, weiter an der modernen Skyline vorbei, sehen "The Shard"- bis 2012 mit 310m der höchste Wolkenkratzer Europas, hin zu Golden Eye und Houses of Parliament. Dort steigen wir um in den Bus und setzen die Stadtrundfahrt fort: Trafalgar Square, Kensington Palace, Harrods. In Notting Hill steigen wir aus, um erst durch den noblen Stadtteil Kensington und danach durch Notting Hill zu bummeln, besonders schön in der Portobello Road mit seinen pastellgefärbten Häusern und Straßenflohmarkt. Am Buchladen des Film "Notting Hill" mit Julia Roberts und Hugh Grant müssen wir natürlich auch ein Foto machen. Mit der Tube zurück zum Westminster, um dort den Sonnenuntergang am Themseufer zu beobachten ( London Eye, Big Ben) - und das alles bei wolkenlosem Himmel.Read more
