London, our last full day...

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

So Randy was feeling a bit better and he didn't wanna waste our last day of our vacation lying in bed.  The weather wasn't as nice as yesterday but at least it wasn't raining...we decided on going to the Tower of London

Who on earth would wear these god awful tights???


 We didn't go in, we didn't wanna spend £20 just in case he started feeling lousy again.  Plus I'm just too cheap! hahaha!

 After walking around a little, he decided he wanted to try some Indian food on Brick Lane "Banglatown."  This was originally on our list of places we must eat at so we thought we'd give it a try

 I was worried that his stomach wasn't gonna handle this too well, but he did pretty good.  These are my vegetable samosas.  They were yummy

 I almost forgot to take a picture of this crisp thingy.  It was yummy, it kinda tasted like a light shrimp chip.  It came with four toppings to dip it in

I ordered my favorite, chicken tikka masala, rice an naan bread.  haha It's almost gone! Too busy eating, forgot to take the pic!

They got some pretty cool graffiti around here

 After lunch he was feeling lousy again (big surprise there!) so we came back to rest.  We have a long commute day tomorrow and I don't want him miserable on the plane.

 He woke up after a few hours and got his second wind.  Since the sun wasn't gonna go down till 9, he wanted to go to St. Paul's Cathedral.  He heard it was supposed to be really nice.  We got there right before 9.



Hahaha I saw this sign at the bus stop and I made him take a picture with it.  He told me I shoulda been the one in the picture since I haven't stopped bitchin about our hotel room since we checked in....but that's another post...

The Millenium Bridge

After about 1/2 an hour he was starting to feel crappy again.  So it was back to the room for good.  Next time I post i'll be back home. Hopefully!  ugh.  My butt is getting sore sitting in this airport!!

Back to London...

**I'm stuck at the airport for a few more hours so I'm gonna catch up with my blogging...
stooopid flight is delayed for 5 hours!

We got in to London late last night, about midnight so I was too tired to blog anything.  We were hungry when we got in and only KFC and Burger King was open.  KFC had the shorter line, so KFC it was...

The next morning Randy woke up feeling like crap.  We had a bunch of stuff planned, especially since the weather was gorgeous.  Poor thing, he was stuck in bed all day, wishing he was dead.  I ended up going on an Olympic walking tour alone :(  It was very interesting, but junk when you got no one to talk to.  I'm anti-social so I just kept to myself the whole time. I'm excited for the olympics to start now!  I'm curious to see what the Olympic stadium looks like on the inside, we were only able to go to the viewing area.

If you ever go to London, you should take one of their London Walks.  They are excellent.  We've been on 3 previously and haven't been disappointed.  It's only £8 per person and they usually last between 2-3 hours

our meeting point
 Our guide Maria

For a free version of the prime meridian, you can come here.  It's kinda neat.  It says to stand on the month with your back towards the sun, and your shadow should say what time it was.  It kinda didn't work for us, It was April 30, so standing both on April and May showed 2:00...it was actually 3:00 at the time.  I shoulda taken a picture of it when someone was standing on it but i never.  So stupid yah?

 I thought this huge tower was for the olympic flame.  I was wrong,  This was made only for decoration, a tourist attraction for London.  If you go up to the top you can get a 360° view of the city

 I just wanted to show you the tv we had in our new place.  It irritated the crap out of me, especially since we spent so much time in the room!

 Let's hope Randy feels better tomorrow...it's boring exploring by myself...
