London Day 1

  1. Premier Inn
  2. Breakfast
  3. Taxi To The New Apartment
  4. Big Blue (Busy) Bus Tour
  5. Sleepy Time

Hi guys now I'm in London and ready to talk about the new amazing things here.

 

 

Breakfast

Breakfast at the Premier Inn was amazing, with brilliant bacon, a sizzling sausage and perfect piklet. I was already charmed. Eating them was even more amazing, it just seemed to melt in you mouth. Anyway, after that miracle meal it was time to leave the Premier Inn, we called a taxi and were off to Notting hill and our apartment for the next week.

 

 

Big Blue (Busy) Bus Tour

After settling in to our new apartment we decided to go on the Big Blue Bus Tour.

 

Here are some things we things In saw and learnt on the tour.

 

  1. Big Ben
  2. Parliament
  3. Hyde park
  4. Huge obelisk (Cleopatra's needle) with the sphinxes around it the wrong way round. They lay down facing into the statue instead of facing away and protecting it.
  5. Marble arch. John Nash who was a famous architect copied the Arch of Constantine
  6. Famous streets
    • Baker Street
    • Oxford Street
    • Regent Street
  7. Piccadilly Circus (not a circus but a roundabout - "Circus" comes from Roman word for Circle)
  8. London Bridge
  9. Tower Bridge
  10. Lots of other things

 

 

The bus was quite fun but very busy. It also rained a lot. We had to wear two rain jackets. In the end I had learnt quite a bit of new stuff. So far London is old, bubbly and monument filled.
