Towers and eyes!

Monday 13 October, 2008

Day two of London. We’re getting used to the hotel. Mum spent a lot of time on the computer in the morning but luckily I convinced her to get off so we could go to town.

First we took the tube (train) to the centre of the city and mum had coffee in a nearby cafe. We got directions from the owner about how to get to the London Eye. Following our small map we eventually arrived. Mum and I had to stand in line for about 20 minutes before we got on. It was EXREMELY slow but enjoyable. When our pod got to the top we really got excited. The London Eye stands by its name. We could see all over London. After a short walk and a couple of ice creams we arrived at the Big Ben although we already saw it on the London Eye. I was having so much fun but mum had to kill it with a visit to the Banqueting Hall where we had to hold remote controls to our ears and listen to some old man talk about it.

With all this noise we needed some place to go where it was quiet. So off to Kew Gardens we went.

It for more fun than I expected. Mum and I saw man eating plants and gigantic trees. It was really enjoyable. Then hunger set in. So we were on our way to an Indian Restaurant where the waiters take half an hour to get your drinks and even longer to get the bill. We left a tip but they didn’t seem to like it so they humphed and didn’t open the door for our exit as they did for our entry. Another hour long train ride and we were home.
