London




London

London is very polluted - it gives you black snot!

There are millions and millions of people in London, all pushing you around, not bothered about who they bump into!
London is great for shopping!

I LOVED the old fashioned red phone booths!




In London we went to the London Eye.

This is like a giant ferris wheel with 32 'pods' that you sit in as it goes around.
The movement is so slow that it takes about 30 minutes to do a full circle, and you can't feel it moving.

There were amazing views of all of London, and you could see lots of famous places like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and London Bridge.




We got on a double decker bus for a tour around London.
We had a great tour of the city, and saw lots of streets off the monopoly board.







We went to Camden markets. They were full of punk rockers and goths, it was a zingy place. Lots of black gothic clothes, as well as lots of neon.




We also went to the original Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. It had amazingly good service, and we would recommend it to anyone going to London. We the classic hamburgers, and they were delicious.







We spent one day at the Natural History museum. It was wonderful.
It was a lot of fun and very impressive.
Might even have to say it was better than Te Papa. he heh heh.

We saw some dinosaur skeletons and some giant bugs. A realistic, yes life size, yes scarey T Rex was roaring and scaring little kids.




Madame Tussauds was really a big waste of money and time and energy. We didn't like it. It was SO busy and there were so many people that you couldn't even see the wax statues.

We saw our friend Lisa and went out for dinner with her, and another night went to her house. Thanks for the pizzas Lisa!

One night we went to see Mamma Mia the stageshow. It was amazing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly - much more than the movie (which we also enjoyed). The actors were exceptionally good.
We caught the underground to Mum and Dad's old house in Wood Green. It looked old and scummy, and I'm glad I was ONLY conceived there (Chantal).
