London - 2nd Innings - Ich will hier Bleiben!
Learnings from this visit- the 2nd innings at London was - Use the double ducker bus and be on top front…cherish, adore and endure-----Keep maps always with you and club underground with buses but more of buses - you can click beautiful pictures, and see places around as well.
This time the stay was at Motel one. -Ich will hier Bleiben!The view from there was of Swiss Re Building or also called ‘The Gherkin’ because of its shape – is near hotel and Aldgate office
Tower Bridge- Bridge that opens in the middle to let ships through. The road across is often shut several times a day so the bridge can be raised. It took 8 years to build and was completed in 1894. This and the Tower castle were near the hotel..
On the first day visited Trafalgar Square station : Pigeons and the often seen place in movies lke Nelson’s column, surrounded by 4 Lions, National Gallery, 2 Fountains, Church called Saint Martin-in-the field.
It was nice to meet all the people and have faces to their names- but sad to see Tobias Leave.
Also got to visit South Kengsington: National History, Science museum, Victorian museumBritish Museum & British Library; Mohamed Alfaid’s: Harrods.
Shared some time at Regents Park and Canal: Which is amazing and beautiful in summer,Madam Tussauds London @ Marylebone Road, near Baker Street; Lords Stadium.
Also went to see Chelsi and Wimbledon stadium; Arsinel Stadium & Stradford for shopping mall.
Thank you Sharyn Coleman and Daniela Beer; was Off to Shakespeare's Globe to watch 'As You Like It'. It was an awesome experience watching a play at Globe Theatre – This is a replica of the building where Shakespeare’s plays were first performed. The plays are still put on each summer, and there’s a tour of the theatre all year round.
Wondering why except few, people in general here wear only black, grey, dark blue, cream or white...
Thank You London For showing me all that you can and all of you who have made my stay memorable one..It was good to meet office colleagues, meet old friends and create new ones....all said and done...it was sad to see Tobias leave...
