London Post No. 5 January 10th - January 17th
Due to the fact that I've become very lazy these days this will be a main picture and photo post. In case that someone is interested in what I'm currently doing feel free to ask me in a comment.
London, January 10th 2010
On Sunday, January 10th, I went to the Buckingham Palace to see the 'Change of Guard' ceremony. Unfortunately it didn't take place due to the horrible weather conditions.
The Buckingham Palace's Gate
Inside one of the tube stations.. I forgot which one.
London, January 13th 2010
On this day the complete public transport system collapsed because of only 5cm of snow.
Snowy Barrow Road. :3
The spacious town house I live in.
A picture of the current me wearing the nerdy fake glasses I bought around Oxford Street a few days ago.
London, January 15th 2010
On last Friday which was my last school day at Frances King Language School by the way I went to Covent Garden with one of my Brazilian classmates. Her name is Mariana. After exploring the Covent Garden market place we went to the Tower of London planing to buy tickets to be able to avoid standing in a queue the next day. Unforatunately all box offices were closed already. :/
Covent Garden
Modern and illuminated buildings on the opposite side of the River Thames.
The Tower Bridge at night.
London, January 16th 2010
Yesterday Mariana from Brazil and I met up in front the Tower Hill underground station at 08:00 pm to visit the Tower of London. It was a terribly rainy day. Urgh. Nevertheless we took our time to explore every corner of the Tower precisely. In one of the shops I found out that one can even buy Anne Boleyn's famous necklace as a souvenir these days... Lol.
In this building of the Tower you can take a look at the famous British Crown Jewels!
A British guard patrolling in front of the building.
The oldest part of the fortress...
A brave and famous soldier inside fortress. :P
Guides dressed in medieval clothes. :D They were so cool! The nun explained the medieval world map on the table in front of her.
➡ Today I vacuum-cleaned my room, cleaned my bathroom, changed the bed sheets and ironed my clothes. For dinner I'll prepare the "Schwäbische Flädlessuppe" I got from la_schuschu and mrsspock89. ♥ In addition I'm afraid I'm getting ill. D:
➡ By the way I totally forgot to mention that I went to see a musical last Tuesday!
As you cen see I went to see Legally Blonde - The Musical in Savoy Theatre and it was absolutely gorgeous! The music and the actors were amazing and the audience's mood was brilliant too!! I've never seen people freaking out about what's going on on stage to such an extent! They even had Elle Wood's famous little chihuahua Bruiser on stage! Aww..! As I already mentioned in one of my FaceBook messages the musical was absolutely worth its price. I'll definitely try to get tickets for another musical like The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked! or Hairspray soon. Compared to German theatres the prices, especially the prices for very good seats, are reasonable.
