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 !
