[Day 5]
Last day here. Usual morning walk at Intu Mall
A wet morning
I enjoyed the last breakfast. Do it again
Went into Intu to walk about
Deserted in the morning
The 1£ shop
Scary costume
A music shop
Took another way back to the hotel beside the river
Dead rising kind of shop
Crossed over the highway
At the hotel, stock take on how much money I have left. Not bad, spent very little..
Ok, my transport is here (to go London)
On the way!
Reaching the city centre. Paddington is near the city centre
Recept at the hotel. Checked in, but room not ready
Left my stuff at the concierge, out I go
Indeed, the hotel is just across the street from the Paddington Station
Looks similar
First target, the tower bridge. The station is "Tower Hill"
This is Tower Bridge (not London Bridge)
The entire bridge
Looking from bottom
Walking to London bridge
Offices lined the river (Thames River)
Weather is cold here. Especially with the wind
London bridge is the one further down the river
There was a battle ship berthed here
Directions
Not sure if this sharp building is famous..
This is the real London Bridge
Panorama view
Near the station, there is Tower London Shop. Tower London is like a castle beside the Tower Bridge
Need to pay to go in. I have no time..
Back to the train station and headed for Westminister (for Buckingham Palace)
Roads have warning sign on the road
That is the London Eye (where my finger is pointing)
Walking through St James Park, very beautiful, leading to the palace
Common to see people with bird feeds feeding the animals
This squirrel is totally tame...and not scared of humans at all..
At the Buckingham Palace
London iconic phone booth
Hey, dogs are allowed on train?
Very complex train map
Check in now. Nice looking room, but no time...dumped my stuff and out I go again..to hunt for British Museum
Trying out the Citymapper app, I tried to take a bus. Bus 27 it said
Annoying Filipino yakking beside me non stop on phone. I changed seats after 15 mins
Nice building
London traffic. It got worse later..
I realized that I was traveling away! Alighted and tried to take a cab there to make up for the lost time
Drove past Hyde Park
Finally at the British Museum
It's free but security is tight
Gift shop I think
Did an expedited tour, hardly stop to read anything
You Dum Dum
Obediently, I donated £5
Very hungry by now, had not eaten the whole day
Spotted this "Fish & Chips" place. I am in England right? Die die must
Not bad..The waitress also very friendly..
I decided to walk back to the hotel. From google map, it does not look far. estimated 1 hour
Vibrant street scenes...a lot of buskers
