So I survived my next day.
I went to some amazing places today. Started by getting lost trying the find the Sherlock Holmes Museum! And found out at the same time that someone had nicked about 40 pound from my wallet! That's a fair bit of money to be pinched! But in any case, the museum was fascinating, and there was a gorgeous old man as Dr Watson giving little tours and posing for photos :)
After the museum I went into this poky little store - catch this - The Beatles! The entire store was covered in Beatles memorabilia! It was just amazing! After that, catching the tube to Westminster Abbey, and I spent the next hour or so wandering around the Abbey, and then past the House of Parliament. Sitting beside the House of Parliament overlooking the Thames, absolutely beautiful! The day was just stunning!
Then off to Trafalgar Square! Admiral Nelson died in the battle of Trafalgar, somewhere overseas, and there is a giant statue in memory of him. He lost half his arm or something during the war. But his statue has both arms, and is quite exquisite! There are four giant lions made of a metal or really dark stone that heats easily, and people kept getting burnt, it was quite funny to see. After sitting and eating lunch, it was time to visit the National Gallery! I saw some of the most amazing painting, that I've only ever seen in books! They are beautiful! I am going back at some point to see more of it - I hardly got through maybe 15 -20 rooms, and the building is just full of painting! But because of how much I had already done, I was just too pooped to do any more!!!
However - it is now pretty later - after 11 pm and I am still awake...
Pics will be up soon enough! Bye for now!
