Reminisce The Days in London - Part 1: In Search of Bus Stop

The pictures are as good as they were taken due to my laziness to edit any of them with Photoshop... Just enjoy the pictures ok? :D

Date: 6th September- 14th September 2008
Location: London and Paris

The flight to reach London (Heathrow Airport) from KL has taken 13 hours! I didn't have such a long flight before. Furthermore, I was flying from Kuching, so I need to take another extra 1 and a quarter hour of flight. After all, it was quite a pleasant experience which I have drank several glasses of red/white wine on the plane. :P It helped for an undisturbed sleep throughout the journey. The time actually fly very fast as what I did was sleep, wake up for nice plane's meal, sleep, then another meal, then sleep.... also in between I have finished watching two or three latest movie on board. (some movies not even showing in local cinema yet)

It's already evening time, around 3 pm (couldn't remember exactly the time anymore, btw, it's already almost a year) when I stepped on foot on England's soil. First day, didn't really do much but just have dinner and sleep for the remaining of the day to be rejuvenated.

The fun began on the Second day! :D

According to the plan, Greenwich would be the first destination. It's easy to reach Greenwich if only there's no special event happening at town. There was this Bicycle Racing and caused several road closure, which one of it involved the route of the bus to Greenwich!

Ok, fine.. now need to walk extra miles... and eventually, we were lost in the city due to wrong direction given to the passer by. :(

Couldn't really blame them as well, because the Londoners also didn't expect the road pointed was closed and we ended up walking a big circle around the city center.

Along the way, we saw.......

London's Taxi

All the Taxis in London are in black. From the outside it looks small but in fact, its interior is quite spacious, especially for us the Asian, who are rather smaller size than the local there.

An "Ancient" Clock Tower

Not sure whether it's ancient or not, but it does look old to me. Many of the buildings in London have this bricks exterior. I like the view of this brick architecture!

Palace of Westminster

I was amazed with this beautiful architecture. The view was indeed breathtaking across the River Thames....

Big Ben, the clock tower

Automatic Ticket issuer

The photos followed were taken on a double-decker bus when on our way to Greenwich. Ya.. finally we have found the correct bus stand. What a relief!

A Church Near the City Center

The famous Double Decker Red Bus

An opened window

The bus has no air conditioner but by opening the window on top, the air blowing in is COOL! I love the temperature there. The whole city is like a big air-cond room.

A restaurant

I like the way the flowers is planted at the building. So sweet!

Elephant & Castle Tube Station

Typical London Architecture

Bus Stand BB

To move around London is very easy with a very systematic public transportation, similar to Singapore. (unlike Malaysia)

PC World

Tesco

Tesco is everywhere in London. :)

A local house

Guess what are them.. Moo Moo Recycle Bins

The London Street

The Green

We recognized that we have reached our destination by seeing this big greenery.

Main gate of Greenwich

Autumn is coming...

The trees were turning to yellow symbolized that Autumn was on the way.
