Fish on Trains

As you walk into the station, you can hear a buzz in your ears, the people coming and going are so many that its hard to move around if your new to the London train systems. You manage to find a train going to your stop and fight your way to the platform and get on the train and most of the time stand. You get off at your next stop and go to the underground, down down down the steep escalator takes you and it feels like a ride maybe like splash mountain at Disney Land USA. You and everyone else stand to the right and let people walk down the stairs past you, you finally reach the bottom and theres a few signs. You try and remember what colour you need, red? no, black? no, Green? lets try that way then. You find its the right one and see your stop is three stops away. you then find your way to the platform, and squeeze yourself into a good position, the train comes and its a life or death situation to get on that train. Its a river of fish people.


I went to St Paul's cathedral today... but.. i hardly got 10 steps into the grand building before the lady giving out info about said "The cathedral is not open for viewing today.. as its ash Wednesday and there are only series available"

It was then i realised that my plan b was awesome.

The Museum of London was a 5 min walk down the road :) I mean yes i have to go back to the cathedral, but the outside and 10 steps i got inside where so beautiful i really don't mind going to the other side of the city just to go into it...

I loved the museum however, it was really good, well set out and although there where little kids running everywhere.. i didn't mind because they where finding info to fill out activity sheets they where doing. :)

I bought a London shirt.. i mean who could resist! And i got a book called "The time traveller's Guide to Medieval England. So far the first two pages are funny and very interesting. So all around a good buy :)

I'm going to see Oliver tonight :) I'm very excited woo!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well Oliver was BLOODY AWESOME.. That is all i can say about it, because that's what it was... I believe the bits on TV which i have seen now make sense... which is always handy yes?
I think so.

Eyes opening on Thursday morning i looked outside.. RAIN... I had planned to go to the palace and oxford street today. However again, my plan b was a great one. I travelled back to St Paul's Cathedral, which i can only describe by this...

"Theres over 1000 stairs if you walk up to the top, and down again. You cannot spend under and hour there. Your mouth is open in aww for more than half your stay. It well worth a visit"

Friday morning i got up had a shower and went out to Buckingham Palace.. to find that London had gathered there for the changing of the guards. I waited at the fence freezing even with all my layers on. Taking some pics and movie. THEN... you can't guess..... maybe you can... my camera which was full this morning, decided that it was out of battery. So i didn't get many pics.

I had to got back to the train station to get to Oxford street because it was physically impossible to get to the other side of the crowd to get to the street i needed to get to Oxford street..
So anyways, getting off the train i headed down Regent st to Hanleys toy store... OMG...WOW... TOY HEAVEN.... it was here that i bought myself a gold timeturner necklace from the harry potter and lord of the rings section... i couldve bought it all if i wasn't in the right mind... however i didn't...


Bye for now, Miss you all
