The London Eye

After what seemed like an eternity of eating airplane food and struggling to get comfortable in sardine can seats we arrived in London on thursday 5th April.

We were welcomed to the UK with a nice fresh,crisp breeze (10oC) which we appreciated after the flights we had endured.

First impression of London was of spring, so many …

Londra este pentru mine cea mai frumoasa destinatie europeana. Cladirile cu arhitectura lor deosebita, monumentele istorice, strazile aglomerate, atmosfera trepidanta din puburi si restaurante, toate acestea iti rasfata privirea si iti ofera o vibratie unica, vibratie pe care aici am intalnit-o pentru prima oara. Londra este inima Angliei, iar eu, …

After the Camden Markets I headed over to Piccadilly Circus to visit The Original London Tour Company shop and bought a ticket to Les Miserables for tomorrow night and 2 day tours. I also found three other tours that I want to do on my return weekend visits to London (if all goes to plan). I got chatting with the sales lady, who gave me the name of …

In London during the German Holiday weekend!

No doubt my first London visit had to be a touristy one. That being said, my weekend was nothing short of what I call "Postcard London". I got to London Victoria Station at 9am, where Mark and I took the Underground to Regent's Park and began our Central London walking tour. First stop: …

Day 25 - Madrid to London
We caught our flight to London, which was quite short (about 1.5 hours plus time difference), and when we arrived, to no surprise, it was raining and cold. At Luton airport, we had to catch a bus to the regional train, which then took about 45 minutes to Kings Cross station, and then we caught a bus out to our …

First day of sight seeing started out catching the tube to big ben and walked around the house of parliament, walked up to Trafalgar square to get a photo with Nelson stopping off at the red phone boxes and the Royal cavalry on the way. Then we walked down to Buckingham palace where thousands of people were waiting for the change of the guard so we …

We arrived late on Friday after taking a bus to Pisa, flight to Standsted, and finally a bus to London. After the long day and all of that traveling, we still managed to get excited about the city. It reminded us of America with huge shopping centers, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, and best of all..everything was in English! It was definitely a nice break …

Had very lovely breakfast then caught the bus to boat ride along London's River. Hoped off at the Tower of London where we spent the next four hours. Kids really enjoyed all the history and seeing the crown jewels. They loved hearing the old stories and seeing the guard. Had a very late lunch at the Tower then headed home via Oxford Street to look …
