This year is dedicated to the discovery of Ireland, but not that! Because since having good friends staying in London, he came to me the great idea to go take a quick glance at the capital, and all with the company of my dear cousin in exile in Sweden.
This little three-day weekend allowed us to taste the flavors and London give us a brief glimpse of what may be a day every day in London: Well, first observation: many fatigue ... Moreover, earlier today, I never got fully recovered. It is true that London is a city vast, vast, yet so cosmopolitan. It is the epitome of the capital of a thousand colors, different cultures and nationalities. Browse London, is to travel the four corners of the globe, both ethnic and cultural differences are present.
My stay has commenced with a dangerous and stressful journey during which I had to take two buses, two airplanes and make a desperate race through the airport from London Stansted. It is true that I had not chosen the easiest route and the fastest, but simply the most economical solution for a student. Under these conditions, so I arrived a little flat in London, with much to my surprise anyone who was waiting on Baker Street (sniff), but decided to wait a few minutes I finally saw the arrival of my friends happy and my dear cousin. Shared the pleasure of reunion, we took the road to explore London, a little off in the apartment of one of my chic friends, before taking the bus to Turnpike Lane area which houses some of my friends. Everyone wants good night, the day was long, and must recharge the batteries for the weekend.
Friday morning, waking around 9:30 am, coffee and shower Express, and we're off to explore the city. First step is to decide the subway map, we finally opt for the passport to the day (5.70 euro). Which is pretty good given the number of trips. First stop at Covent Garden, with its small shopping malls, markets closed, theaters, entertainment and various diverse (we were treated to a pair of opera singers during our walk: atypical).
Resumed our journey to Piccadilly Circus, a small walk through the big cinemas, giant billboards, the mass of people vary in the streets. After reuniting Anne-Laure and Greg in the Loan (chain of fast-food Londoners) which works Maud, we are heading toward a McDonald's center for a menu exactly diet food, I'll spare you the details. After Maud has joined us towards Big Ben and the Westminster Parliament where the sun smiles in all its brilliance, which helps us spot on the photo. Let's take as my cousin and me great pleasure to this beautiful spectacle offered to us, the Clock Tower sublimated by the sun.
short stroll along the Thames, passing in front of the London Eye with which some are replicas Dali exposed on the bank. We cross a few aspiring singers (they sang the Bob Marley, you follow me?). The view over the Thames is simply magnificent in the late afternoon. The sky comes in several shades of color appear in leaving the Thames shady silhouette of Big Ben and Westminster. So gorgeous!
Before a small lunch break at my friend Greg's side of Regent's Park, we share the last rays of light on the city side of Trafalgar Square and his column revealing the figure of Nelson, standing at over 4O feet around him with four bronze lions sculpted by Edwin Landseer, a which Greg thinks he is Zorro. We ask ourselves a few moments at a Starbuck's shop to find some warmth. Our day will end at the heart of Oxford Circus where you will have time to appreciate and enjoy the many decorations adorning the commercial streets.
