We met some interesting people in London, too...like when we visited Covent Garden Market, where, not only are there lots of stalls selling really nice things,
but also lots of street performers! :)
Oh, and this man...apparently he guards the Queen...
We also went to Trafalgar Square, where we met a nice lion...
And who's that? Apparently it's Admiral Nelson! Sorry it's not the best pic...
After that we had a bit of a rest in the Square and looked at the view...
Also managed to visit a couple of famous train stations...one was Waterloo, where the train to France used to go from...near there is the famous London Eye, the giant ferris wheel...unfortunately, the queue was just TOO much, we'd have been there all day, so we didn't ride on it.
We walked around Southbank area then and saw the Houses of Parliament, where our hostess told us the Government of Great Britain meets.
There's a famous clock tower there, everyone thinks the clock is called Big Ben, but in fact Big Ben is the bell inside the tower, which strikes on the hours. The striking of Big Ben is heard on BBC Radio 4 before the news. :)
Then we went for a little break in a London Pub...the pubs here all have really nice signs...
