Okay.....so I have organised myself and I am sitting up in bed in my quaint little single room surrounded by everything I need..(except wireless connection...but I’m not complaining!) ............finishing the account of my adventures today. Using Word is familiar to me and now that I know how to get my blog to read it....I’m now compatible (that’s IT terminology for being a normal, 2010, computer user!)
So....I can hear you seasoned travellers saying....enough of the waffle Fran....what have you actually seen....????
Okay: the list is as follows......according to my very battered, cherished, and depended upon, faithful BRBT guide map....in order of appearance..... I have seen, but not necessarily explored:
The Marble Arch
Sherlock Holme’s Museum
Madame Tausaud’s Wax Museum
Regent Park
Oxford Circus
Piccadilly circus
The National Gallery
Trafalgar Square!!!
Admiralty Arch
The Horse Guards
No 10 Downing Street
Big Ben...the bell in the tower...and The Houses of Parliament....(I’ve heard Ben calling out on the quarter hour many times... and he is starting to feel like a friend!)
Westminster Abbey
London Aquarium
Jubilee Gardens
Waterloo Pier
The London Eye
The Strand
Royal Courts of Justice
The Temple Church
St Paul’s Cathedral...Where Di & Charles were wed!
Bank of England
London Bridge...
................................................Yep......I was certainly snapping my pics every time I heard an Iconic landmark being explained during sensational tour......................
Blown away by the LONDON BRIDGE
Followed by the tower of London
A river cruise on the River Thames......
Returning to the Westminster Pier............
All of these in a 3 hour time span...............what a compression session!!! Yes, my head was spinning but delightfully so...........
It was time to actually experience some ‘off the beaten track stuff’............and this was when I decided to join the 6pm Ghosts by Gaslight walking tour as described to you in one of my previous ramblings!!!
I was truly in awe of the history and character presented to me by London herself.........but I still have so much more to discover .....
It sounds like you are having an amazing time and seeing everything... Went to visit my 90 year old Nan yesterday (who is English) it was lovely to be able to talk to her about all the places you have been mentioning and see her face light up!!! She can't tell us what she did yesterday but can tell us all about life in England... Thanks for giving me lots to talk to her about!!! Love Nic xox
