London was so fun!

Just in case you're in any doubt that I'm having fun, here's what I did in London:

  • Saw the Natural History Museum and learnt how volcanoes and mountains are formed
You can go up, but don't expect to get out again...not with all the wonders to see!
  • Saw art galleries and many paintings by artists like Monet (not to be confused with Manet, though I saw his work, too), Da Vinci, Picasso, and many more.
  • I had a good breakfast
I enjoyed it a lot
  • Got lost and found my way again
  • Took a bus and accidentally saw a local's tour of London
  • Saw all the main attractions without going on a tour
I saw London Eye
  • Saw Cirque du Soleil (I'd booked tickets only hours before the show)
  • Afterwards, saw a guy about to cross the road and he did an elegant side step with his arms out to protect his friends from the oncoming traffic. It was a very good impression of the sorts of moves we saw in the show
An extract from the show I saw
  • Had The Best Hot Chocolate Ever (quality chocolate with your choice of spices)
  • Saw the Hipster part of London and wished my stomach wasn't full from the hot chocolate so that I could fit in the scrumptious market foods (but there were so many that I probably couldn't have decided anyway)
  • Saw some of London's finest graffiti
I call him The Gate Eater

I call him The Traffic Watcher

  • Stayed in an 8 person room in a hostel all by myself and got to walk around in my grey long johns without feeling self-conscious (these were the ones that sagged at the bottom)
  • Had breakfast with ducks, pelicans, and swans
"Oh yes, splendid day. And you?"

  • Took London's underground tube 
(the peak hour trip is not included in this fun category)

  • Heard many talented buskers. The sound echoes nicely in the underground tunnels
This tunnel reminded me of something out of an 80s sci fi movie

  • Saw many amazing poets at a poetry night, and got to talk to a lot of them afterwards
  • I bought all the poetry books and EPs on sale. I have no regrets; they're as awesome as the live performances
  • I had a snog. It was yum
Shall I keep you in suspense? Could be fun. Make your guess in the comment section
  • I found out that policemen in London do actually wear these hats!
