London Big Bus Ride and Conclusion

We spent about 24 hours in London.  We got on the tube and went to Westminster then caught the big bus and went on a large loop.  First stopped at Picadilly to have some lunch then caught the bus back to Westminster.  The city is pretty big, we didn't have a lot of time so we tried to make the most of it.  Took lots of photos, here are a select few.

Aquarium along the River Thames.

In front of big ben (the clock), it was a bit windy.

Somebody lose their clothes?

London Bridge.

There's so many spy cameras in London, you can see them everywhere, some posts had 4 cameras!

We then caught the tube to Knightsbridge, had a walk around Harrods, bought a few things, namely tea, then caught the tube back to our hotel at the aiport, packed our things (with 10 mins to checkout!) then went to book in. The flight was surprisingly not empty. The person at the counter said there weren't many people but there were. Mostly were New Zealanders and Australians going back to their own country. There was a couple sitting next to us in the middle aisle and they had 2 children, one of them was crying and screaming at varying points throughout the night. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep, and when I did get some sleep it was in incredible awkward positions.

So now I'm back in Singapore, we just had a tasty dinner in Geylang. Scallops, dim sum, porridge, otak, miam miam.

This will be my last post for this blog. I've had a wonderful and incredible past few weeks. Memorable experiences (northern lights, dog sledding, awesome and incredible scenery, driving in waist deep snow, sub zero temperatures, going on a boat, long flight times) and (mostly) good food. There's such a huge difference in the lives of people here compared to the other side of the world. Even different topics of interest, areas of concern. Being with different company. Even the food that you think tastes the same? It tastes different elsewhere. Makes it interesting to see the bigger picture on how the world really works. If you ever have the chance I highly recommend visiting Iceland and Norway. Of course, make sure you have the money first and I mean cash not credit. :)
