Day 2 - London (west end tower london)

All up at 5 o'clock. Room was like a heater!!!! Spent the next three hour eating and relaxing :D it was a nice change :)
Took the tube to Tower of London (the long way.,.. My fault) 
Got to the Tower of London at about 9 thinking that it opened at 9 but it open at ten so whoops :P went to tower bridge instead :D got back to the Tower of London at 9:30 and mum and dad bought tickets while I stood in the quickly growing line. Once we got in the tower we went straight to the Crown Jewels!!! 
Soooooooo much gold!!!!!!! :O (and jewels and other awesome amazing stuff) 
The jewels were very pretty and seemed to go on for ever! The is only so much shiny stuff you can see in one day! 
Ok got out of Crown Jewels and when into the actual tower! In a nut shell it was amazing..........ly long and actual quite interesting......... There was lots of weapons and armor of all kinds! (I'll be back in lion king seats right now as I write this it will be starting soon so I'll finish this later)
Ok where was I....,, ok so finish the tower bit and then we went and did a small walk around the wall then we tubed to the station closest to west end, found a supermarket, walked to a park  and ate lunch then (while watching a middle age couple play tennis) then walked back to the west end theatre (via a very good coffee shop)
Lion king was good second half was fantastic the first half was average!!!! 
Ok then daddy got lost and took us on a bus going the wrong direction (and I was right and he got unhappy)
Went to saint Paul's and a suspension bridge they were both amazing 
Then tubed to Trafalgar spare and walk down Paul's mall to bucking ham palace (lol i don't know how to spell it but you get the general idea)
Then tubed home via a small shop where we got milk 
I am really really really tried right now 
So yeah goodnight 

Disclaimer: I can't spell and I can't be bothered prof reading so live with it :P

Day 1 - London

Well what a day!!!!!
Arrived in London at 7:20 this morning 
Got to the youth hostel at about 10-10:30 
Very slow start because no one really knew what the plan was and how we were getting from place to place!! (Not fun) spent a while deciding which bus would take us where (ended up taking the tube after much bus research) :P
(Oh and we bought some pastries bread ham and cheese some where in there, a nice typical holiday lunch of ham and cheese baguettes)
So now the day starts to get interesting 
Got the tube to the river and dawdled there a bit (looking at more busses) :P
I finally managed to get us moving in the direction of Big Ben and Westminster Abby which was good (yay some progress in the day)
Big Ben was spectacular the clock face was so detailed and the whole building was really cool :D (the building are all so old and some really new it's awesome) (wow I have such good English) 
Anyway had lunch in a park by the river (which I can't be bothered getting off my bed to find out the name of) and took some more pictures of the houses of parliament!! Such a cool building 
Ok soooo then we went to Westminster Abby and had a nice little debate about if we should go in or not. We went in and it really very interesting (except that I got sore feet) made our way to Trafalgar Square but there was a huge gay marriage parade on so we could get through! :O it was amazing how many people there was!!!! 
Eventually got back to youth hostel after investigating the ferries on the river and shopping for the rest of our days in London! So yeah I'm a bit tried and I don't think I mentioned but I hurt my wrist again while playing football with my friends and its a bit painful at the moment!!! 
Will post again tomorrow 
Alastair 

P.s when I was righting about Big Ben i though small Ben at school :P big bens a big bigger than small Ben 


Flight over

Everything went according to plan on the flights but it took soooooooooooo long!!!! 
Singapore transfer was very quick. We literally got off one plane walked to the next gate went through customs again and got on the next plane. Food was good although I'm a bit sick of fruit now (I had the the fruit platter option) mums vego meal was good and no tofu in sight which she was happy about. 
Got a good start on the PLP stuff (school work) and the interview is done :D 
Movies were average the only one I finished was despicable me 
Listening to music on my iPod has stopped me getting travel sick which is nice (I love the wicked soundtrack) 
Got about 4 hours sleep which isn't bad. Mum got 5-6 hours and dad got about 2 hours. He's going to be a bit tried!!! 
I think that's all I've got to say now. We are landing in London in 2 hours and 46 mins :P 
(Although I'll be uploading this in London airport where there will hopefully be free wifi)
