We arrived in London 5 days ago and I thought I would have alot of time to myself when the World Cup starts to blog but apparently NOT. London isn't quite what I remembered to be...after all, it has been more than 10 years since I last came.
For a start, people we met at the airport had been super friendly and patient. We understood everything cos it was all in ENGLISH! The transport system is super tourist friendly, clear signages and every bus stop has map indicating where we are etc...think we can probably walk about without a map in London!
Arriving from Athens, London appears to be alot cleaner, organised, less rowdy, pleasant and exciting. And luckily for us, the weather has been great! Not too cold or warm.
There was a fair on Sunday and we were happy to be there...home-cooked dinner followed by world cup match for Jeff...
Mon was spent hotel shopping for my sis and bro-in-law who will be arriving tomorrow morning!
Tue, we caught a play, MouseTrap and spent more time exploring the city centre...
Wed, we watched Sex and the City 2! Dun trust the poor reviews! If u like Sex and the City, it's just as girly good! haha..even Jeff enjoyed it!
Today, we were supposed to head out to Greenwich but the S.Korea vs Argentina was too good to be missed by Jeff that we headed back to Liying's plc to catch it. That's why I'm sitting here...writing this blog...hehe..
Ok, some photos to share on London...and if internet is stable, more posts of India we wrote on our plane ride here..
Glimpse of London from the plane

ReplyDeletePlatform 9 3/4 & British Museum: I didn't get to visit them :(
Did you all visit the Portobello Market that only opens on weekends? Also a lot to see & eat. There's a good HK roast duck restaurant (forgot where), got try?
Wicked musical: Boring.. really? I was planning to watch Les Mis while in London but my cousin recommended Wicked. I like it! & I watched it on the same night I arrived back in London from Glasgow. Was awake throughout the musical & only took a nap during the interval though I was very sleepy & tired. (PS: my cousin's same age as PY, so may not an age gap issue)
I tick all the 3 boxes, happy now? LoL!
after i see the blurry picture of the theatre, i also feel nausea... is it the steps or the lens? *Hee*
