Royal Carriage
Buckingham Palace
Big Ben
I have been in London for the last 4 days, and have seen the big sights, Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guards, Big Ben-which is actually only the bell in the bell tower, not the whole tower, Westminster Abby-been to evensong there, St John's Cathedral, London Tower Bridge, London bridge-this is a bit of let down, it just looks like any other bridge, the first time I just walked past it thinking it was something else, Hyde park, Camden Markets.
There is just so much to see in London, I go out with the intention of seeing certain things during the day, and then will walk past something, get completely distracted, and end up doing something completely differnt. One day I was headed towards the London Tower (which I have yet to make it to), when I passed the old London Wall, which I didnt even know excisted, so then I had to go to the Museum of London which was next door to find out all about it.
The upside of this is that there is always something to look at and explore, that my days are long, and full of interesting things.
I have walked more kilometer than I care to think about. I have enjoyed my time here, and am looking forward to the next adventure, which is South Africa. I catch my plane tomorrow night and on Tuesday morning will be speeding??? my way northward towards my placements-cant wait.

Ben and you make a grate couple - something about being tall and skinny ;-)
Now does London, my home town, still smell of Diesel and old socks?
I feel that London is like that good old jumper, bit threadbare, bit holey, bit grubby but really comfortable and you feel really nice by being in it. There is so much of interest there....
Now off to Africa. Hug a Lion for me.. It'll be OK. You will be quite safe. You wouldn't wouldn't make a decent meal ;-)
LOL
