Summer in London

Waiting for the Eurostar (from Paris back to London)
                                  
London is our last stop for shopping and more food!! LOL. We're almost broke after the Paris tour..but luckily we have a room to stay with our cousin in London...phew~

We reached Canary Wharf to meet up with our cousin..and up we go to the Mudchute..nice residential area. We took the Clippers boat to Westminster. A bit more expensive than taking the Underground but we have great view by boat
Various events were held in the city of London. Good weather and everyone was in good mood, happily dancing at the streets.. I wish our country can have these kind of healthy events too..



We had great time wandering around London. Something that everyone should go when visiting London! The well-known, 'HerMajesty's Theatre', London for the Phantom of the Opera. Awesome! Something that you cannot miss. Meet up with my Uni friend, Daniel who was in London at the same time.
 







We went to museums, SOHO, Bond Street, Liverpool Street and many more..and again...walked at least 5km a day.

We also went to Spital Tongue market for Oysters! The market is really good with some very special artwork and goods. Shall pay a visit if you have time!
Something that you can easily spot and see..the red double buses and the horse guards.
Had great food at the 'GUN' in London which is pretty near to the o2 Academy Arena. Really good food! We had razor clam, salmon, duck, ham and Pimm too! Pimm is a gin-based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs, mint & fruits.
Thanks to our cousin, Chris and Helina in London. Nice meeting 2 new friends too, Sayaka (from Japan) and David. We had a great time in London!
