London has become my favorite place ever! There are so many things to do and see. Of course, you cant miss the double decker tour buses, fish-and-chips, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. I hope you like the pictures.

I barely made it to the theatre that night, and honestly I was quite tired, but the show waked me up! Adelphi has a great sound system, and for a last-minute deal I got a very good seat. My favorite was Lynda Carter (Miss World 1970) playing Mama Morton. I enjoyed it so much!

We all know that when visiting London the double decker is a must-do. You can hop on and off the bus on the main attractions, and there are four different lines connected to each other. Unfortunately, we only had time to do two of them, the longest one first, where they give you headphones to listen about the places you are seeing at that moment, and another one with someone talking to you live and saying funny things and stories about downtown.

Activity

One of the things that I enjoyed the most in London was going on the London Eye. The trip is about 30 minutes, and we got the chance to see the sunset on it.

I had heard of the guards at Buckingham Palace and this old tradition because my mom had told me, but being there is something very different. From spring to fall they change the guard every day, and from fall to spring they change guard every other day. We saw the whole ceremony and listened to the guard symphony. I really recommend to make it early; we got there 30 minutes before and it was crowded already.

Changing of the Guard
Wellington Barracks London, England SW1A 1AA

This was Queen Victoria's first home and place of birth. It was also Princess Diana's home and is definitely a great place for someone who wants to learn about the English monarchy.
