St Paul's Cathedral is one of the most expensive places to visit in London, we saved £24.5 per person by praying outside for all of us and took a picture as a souvenir. We enjoyed sightseeing and eating our lunches at Prêt à Manger, good and inexpensive, well, cheaper than restaurants. We spent a few hours in Greenwich village on the outskirts of London. We visited the Cutty Sark, a big sailboat that used to import tea from China and wool from Australia. It was the fastest sailboat in that time. It set a record of 73 days from London to Sydney Australia. We also walked by one of the Queen's house's and through the gardens.
St Paul's Cathedral
The invisible man.
The Harry Potter bridge, the bridge closed two days after it opened because it wobbled. It reopened two years later after a series of vibration dapners were installed for 5 million pounds. Yoly wouldn't let me take pictures of the dampers but they are great, totally worth the trip.
The Shakspeare theatre.
Me backing the Cutty Sark into the dry dock.
The hull hanging from a new structure attached to original steel frame of the boat. The boat caught fire in 2007. After the fire lots of money was donated and they did a fabulous job of fixing the whole setup. That is a glass roof from the boat to the dry dock.
We went for a ride on the London Eye.
This is the London Eye.
The gardens at Kensington Palace.
Queen Victoria was sad for the rest of her life after Prince Albert died at the age of 42.
The newly discovered feature of the camera only shoots red stuff in color, this thing is a Ferrari.
This thing is a telephone booth.
This guy knew both of the bagpipe songs and played them one after the other.
Sully wants to sell Yoly some tea!
Impossibly twisted tree branches at Battersea Park near our apartment.
Ugly ducklings. No, wait, Beautiful cygnets and their mama swan. She is teaching them what to eat.
