London Trip 伦敦之旅 -Day 3

This will be a really long post and I'll try my best not to mumble like grandma. Lol Planed to go a lot of places today so we went out around 9 in the morning. Everything is alright and my boy is waiting me out there But First

Let me take a selfie.

Simply had a breakfast at Starbucks, we then started our compact plan today :

Westminster Abbey Church where Prince William and Kate was married.

A happy girl beside the Abbey

The BigBen !

With the London's signature - the red double decker

With my Vanilla Macho Chino

Methodist Central Hall and Memorial Column near Westminster Abbey

No caption Lol

The other landmark of this city,

The London Eye

After tried to capture it in many ways and angles, I only satisfied with this perspective at the opposite of the London Eye itself.

Beautiful garden just beside the river

The main focus is not me nor the statues, it's the child behind me ! hah

Very British-style houses beside a lil road.

A Sherlock Holmes theme coffee house.

British Museum. Free entry and I think you can take your camera there because nobody stop me while I'm taking a ton of photo inside. Hah. ** But always remember to make sure your flash is off.

Super cool Samurai !

China Ceramics art-pieces arranged by color

I think it's from Thailand if i didn't make a mistake

Paranormal inside the museum, awesome roof !

Enjoying the sunshine !

Lunch is my beloved Jacket Potato ! Willing to eat it 3 times a day Lol 

Guess why I'm taking picture of this corner ?

Here's a tips,

One more,

Well if you're a super fans of Harry Potter, clever as you must be knew that 

It's the corner to get inside the Ministry of Magic !

Well, if you think it's hard to get in by there or you wanna go the other part of the magic world,
then Here we go

through the Platform 3/4 !

It's just inside the King Cross station and I'd queued about 30 mins to take the picture.

The Potter shop beside the corner of the platform. They sell everything in he magic world like the uniform of different school in Hogwarts, magic wand of each characters,

and even Hegwidsssssss. Lol

Let's change the channel to the night time.

Didn't plan for this but we end up here. A unique and romantic pub. Forgot it's name but it have a special menu named "The Jones Family Project".

 Pink Pyjamas

with him

Basically we went to these place by only walked except to the King Cross station and of course, the pub :
Westminster Abbey Church > Big Ben > London Eye > British Museum > King Cross station > Pub

Felt like can asleep within 3seconds but I still can't get over my exciting with this lovely city. But luckily, I still can visit it in the next few days.


So here is my third day in London.
 Hope you enjoy it.

London trip 伦敦之旅 - Day 2

If you wanna ask : What is the best part of self-traveling ?

Me : Sleeping until woke up by myself. LOL

But it still about 8am even though I didn't set an alarm. Maybe it's the jet-lag (London is late an hour than Paris) or just because I'm too excited ? Whatever ~ We then went out after eat somethings that we bought from Tesco yesterday. Well, If you read the post about my night-viewing Day 1, then Day 2 is definitely a shopping day ! 

So here is the Oxford Circus station which brings you to The Oxford Street : A place where the fashion in London started. You can found both high street fashion and international brand over there. *Brand List* Most of the store open from 9am-9/10pm or even Sunday (noon-6pm). But don't go during weekends don'ttttttt !! Unless you have no choice or you're enjoy to walk inside the crowd ...

Meanwhile, there still have some stores which located at those street that link to Oxford street just like Michael Kors In Regent Street. If you already have a goal, then better do some research to shot right to your target more easier. 

Lunch break during the shop time ! 

Suddenly feel like wanna eat something sour, so we choosed this Thai restaurant as we passed by a lil street. Five star service, delicious food and reasonable price ! Wish that I could go again next time :)

Feeling peace at a lil park with few status. 

Didn't shopped a lot because you felt horrible when you x5.5 on every price tag ! (I know I shouldn't do this but I just can't control TT) Can't deny that currency is our enemy when we go to a high-exchange-rate country. Lol. After shopped a whole day, we then went back to rest around 5pm.

We aim to take a night bus tour at night. There have several bus company provided this tour and recognize their colour is the way to differentiate them. We choosed a Red one and looking for them under the London Bridge. The last tour is at 8pm and we just cannot found the station which we can join the bus. (If anyone know please let me know) So we just missed the opportunity to sightseeing the London night by the double-decker.

St.Paul Cathedral

What is interesting is the road in front it have two yellow-rounded bulb street light, standing at each side of it. It's 女皇灯 (I don't know it's English name but I think we can call it Queen's Light if direct translate from Chinese) which literally means you can just passed the road like a queen and the all the car will stop for you. Sounds cool right ?

Went to the end if this street, the Victoria Memorial is catches our eyes.

So no doubt, the Magnificent building in front of it is The Buckingham Palace, where the Queen Elizabeth living.

The grand front door

 Even though I felt a lil bad for the night bus tour but it still a full and wonderful day. But if you think this will be the best part of my London trip, then i would say you are totally wrong ! Hah Just looking forward for another post of mine.



Enjoy and have a nice day !

London Trip 伦敦之旅 - Day 1

It's 27th March 2014 - The day I went to London ! 

Finally decided to tiny up those photos and blog about it after four month (such a lazy hah) Like most of the tourist , I'm freaking excited too before I went there. But I didn't did too much homework even I didn't follow some tours this time because I already have my own personal guide there and all I have to do is just said where I wish to go ! Lol

After packed a ton of stuff, here we go !

Here is my train ticket with trains which ready to rush out from Gare Du Nord Paris! I booked my return tickets from Eurostar.com with only 34€ For each ! (They have young ticket for you who below 26.) But if you wish your ticket price is like what I bought, then you better book it few months ahead or check it out everyday. :D

Even though sometimes the air ticket is even cheaper than the train ticket, but if you never took Eurostar before, then it will be a MUST for you to across England and France just under the sea ! It's convinience enough too that you can even print out the ticket by urself and even exchange your currently by the machine before you across the board.

After 2hours and half, I went down the train and took a deep breath. 

WAOH, so this is the freezing air in London !! 

Took a moment to meet up my boy and then settle everything. When the time came to 6pm, we then moved our dinner and also... the beautiful London night view !

We walk by the River Thames , talking to each other and can't stare away from the gorgeous night view . Forgive me didn't took a lot of pics because that will be a torture for me once I let my hand out from my warmly pocket. Lol The temperature is around 7-9 Celsius in that night and I almost freeze when the wind blow ! But still, nothing can stop my enthusiasm in discovering this lovely city !

Night view on our right hand side.

The egg-shape building in the middle of this paranormal is what they called : The City Hall.

 The Tower Bridge 

Our first selfie ever ! Lol

Took our dinner at Leon which also known as the fast food chain restaurant in London. And they did have a vegetarian menu too ! Hah

The left is Leon Gobi Lunchbox and the right is Sweet Potato Falafel Hot Box. U can get all their information on their website Here. Ohya, Peach, Lemon & White Tea Juicy Water is a must try !

We then had a walk after the dinner. Walking like there is no destination and we get in to the death-end-street for a few times Lol. I basically just follow my boy and totally have no idea where we were going until he showed me the palace where the crown of Queen Elizabeth placed now - The London Castle.

Can't stand for the weather which getting colder and started to rain, we then back to hotel after shop some foods and drinks in Tesco.

So this is my first day in London. (Day two coming soon) 

 Hope you guys enjoy this :)
