Hello guys!
And today's post begins with the famous Samuel Johnson's quotation. And it couldn't be any different, since I'm going to upload a few pictures we took in London. That was in 2011, but the memories of that amazing trip will not be easily wiped out of our minds! :D
Madame Tussaud's Museum
The traditional telephone cabin.
Trafalgar Square
The National Gallery. I really wanted to visit it, but as we entered, we were told photos were forbidden. We were very disappointed.
The most iconic sight of London!
And again.
Westminster Abbey! You can't believe how long it took us to enter! And mind you, it is not free. We had to pay 16 pounds! Absurdly expensive. Well, almost everything is absurdly expensive in London.
Hey, don't you guys agree that the Thames River is not looking too good in that picture? I don't know why it had this colour... it was a very hot day, in August.
I'm lousy at photographing big objects. Well, I must confess I have no talent at all! But I can't waste the opportunity to take pictures of great moments. The image you see above was supposed to be the London Eye! Yes, that giant ferris wheel. I tried to get a better angle from the boat, as we were cruising on the Thames:
And below there's a pic of the sight we had when we were at the highest height in the London Eye:
And there's the London Tower. It looks like an ancient fortress. We really wanted to visit it, there are rumours it's hanted by the ghosts of people who were tortured and killed there! But we got there too late, it was closed.
And last but not least, the Tower Bridge. Unfortunately we couldn't get a night picture, but it looks even more beautiful when it's all lighted up!
That's it, guys! I hope you like it. My friends and I were all very happy to visit London. An incredible city, really. But we do know the United Kingdom is not only London. There are many other wonderful cities waiting to be discovered. The problem is: it's not so cheap to buy pounds and travel in the UK.
Oh, and we're all craving to learn British English! Their accent is really the most charming. Forgive us, Americans!!!
And next post: Berlin! See you there, guys!
