Breakfast menu had most items non-veg,hence survived on juice,fruit and a loaf of bread.Started our exploration with the THE ORIGINAL TOUR of London which provides with hop-on/hop-off facility with under roof and open-deck bus allowing one to get down at whichever stop he wants and board another bus which arrives at every 15 minute.We saw almost every spectacular sight of London today.We saw the national gallery which held the huge collection of great paintings by renowned artists including Da Vinci,and opposite to it was the Trafalgar square madly crowded due to some musical concert kindof going on.We also got down at St.Paul's CAthedral which is again a marvel of architecture and which hosted great historical events including Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding.I must say, the whole of London is the reflection of intelligent,nonrusting,disciplined, beautiful architecture.
Another stop after crossing the London Bridge was the THE TOWER OF LONDON,main agenda for me to see this place was to eye the kohinoor..this place is so largely spread on hundreds of acres that a whole day would have fall short to discover it and hence after seeing few of the most visited parts of it,we directly hopped on to the Jewel house which started with the video display of the precious jewels and ended with their real displays..i was so amazed to see the Kohinoor in the queen's crown that i went round twice to see the same.I wish we can get it back to Inida someday.!!.Ah...difficult.!!Besides the immesely precious jewels from different parts of the world,my eyes also got stuck on the crown from India..it was really really beautiful.
We had our lunch,luckily availed veg-sandwich with diet coke and ofcourse the helpful cupanoodles we carried with ourselves,in case we had not got better options.Then we took a river cruise from London tower to the Westminster Abbey and saw many historical and beautiful buildings throughout including london eye ,london bridge,big ben and others.And then was the most tiring part....walking....to search the next point of hop-on/hop-off...we kept walking and walked all the distance from westminster to victoria which costed us a hell lot of time and all of my energy...and say wat?..we didnot go anywhere else from there,i mean no more sight seeing..we took the tube from victoria to earls court and now sitting in the hotel.But i am still planning....planning to go out for a short walk to the streets all alone....here i go...so catch u tomorrow..
Sometimes,u really feel like talking about things to ur people,to ur friends,share ur good and bad experiences,but it doesnt work out always..rightna.!!..so i wrote it down all here and i am feeling happy that u are reading it out..thanks..
