London 9 to 10/1/09

Hi everyone

Going through London was like going around the Monopoly Board but not the right way and a lot more interesting.

First it was Euston station, we had to park our car at the car park. But when Dad went a to meeting me, Mum, Dec and Thyson went around London.

Second it was Trafalgar Square after a cold walk.The Fountains were all iced up. Nelson's Column it is massive. So i would say it was the 4th best thing we saw.

3rd it was off to Buckingham Palace but on the way we saw some of parliament. We also went through a big park called St James Park and parts of the river were frozen but only thin and there were some squirrels that crawled up Thyson's leg. Once we got out of the freezing park there was the Palace. There was no changing of the guard, I don't know why though. We stayed there for about 30 mins. It was the 5th best thing we saw.

After that it was Big Ben, it was massive. I thought it was great. We heard it chime 2 times. The thing that it was attached to was very big and looked great. It was easily the 3rd best thing we saw.

Then we went to Piccadilly Circus but we had to have lunch, because we had Thyson and Declan we could not eat anywhere different, so It was the Big M (Mcdonalds) again. Then Piccadilly Circus was ok. It's really just big screens and a horrible intersection but Mum loved. It She said it is just like what she had seen on t.v. It was only the 6th best thing we saw.

For the night we stayed in a dodgy hotel. Guess what? We had to walk around again because Dad wanted to see everything we saw, my legs were hurting so much. After that we had tea at a Indian Restaurant, it was pretty nice.

The next day we thought we would use the tube we found it hard to get to the right platform and when we got off the train we were still miles from the Place we wanted to be but we weren't lost!!!After we walked past the eye (It wasn't open because of repairs which was a bummer) we also went past London Bridge to get to the Tower Bridge and that was fantastic. We did the tour where you could go up the top and see how it was built and see the views but it was foggy which was a bummer and they did not do the lifting of the arms which was a double bummer other than that i would rate that 2nd over all.

Next up was London Tower, Mum said it was where they kept all the Money and things we did not go in because it was very xy. I think that it would of been a tie for 2nd.

The Best thing by far was St Paul's Cathedral. It looked so good and inside was brilliant. It was so and the big and brick work was unbelievable. We didn't go in because it was xy so i can not tell you much about it but the outside was incredible and that is why that is my favorite place in London.

Overall I really liked London it was a very interesting place I loved It. The Photos will be there tomz. soz about the spelling.
