Woohoo what a great day.
We met for breakfast at 8:30am at the coffee shop under the hotel as it is cheap and easy. After a toasted sandwich we caught the tube from here to Baker Street and walked up to Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. We got there as it opened and the line was massive already…note to self: go early for the london dungeon tomorrow.
The wax museum was awesome. I took heaps of dorky photos like me with wolverine (mmmm Hugh Jackman) and me with Captain Picard…I mean Patrick Stewart….
Oh and of course one with Shrek 🙂 all my girlfriends will like that one!
After the wax museum we headed our separate ways for the day as Emma really wanted to shop and I really didn’t. She hopped off the tube at Oxford Street and I headed off to the science museum. It was AWESOME!! The natural history museum was pretty cool as well, especially the dinosaur section which had a life size moving T-Rex.
After T-Rex love, I did a little bit of shopping at Zara’s (yay, pretty birthday dress) and bought some souvenirs. I walked all the way from the museums down to Buckingham Palace and took some photos. It started to rain at that point but the walk through St James’s Park was still beautiful and I saw lots of squirrels. THEN ONE CAME AND SAT ON MY FOOT! I squealed like a little kid, Japanese tourists took heaps of photos of me. I didn’t get one of him on my foot but I did get one of him sitting next to me eating a nut. I love squirrels.
.
I walked through the park and down towards the house of parliament and Big Ben. I also walked through Westminster Abbey which was beautiful.
After Westminster Abbey I walked across the Westminster Bridge and back to the hotel. All in all, I walked about 12kms today and I am exhausted! Tomorrow we are planning to go to the London Dungeon, Tower of London and the London Bridge so HOORAY more walking. The day after that we leave to come home *sad face*
Percy did come out with me today but because it was raining a lot and I was on my own, it’s hard to take pics! He will have to live vicariously through me 🙂
