Brown Girl in London

The weekend part 3: Evening

Then more walking down to Trafalgar Square, past No. 10 Downing Street and we waved at Tony Blair, (joking!), where there was a Sri Lankan festival going on. Neat. I hadn't been there yet, the National Portrait Gallery & National Gallery are there so I'm going back, maybe this weekend. Canada House, the Canadian High Commission, is right there as well.

If you look in the back you can see the London Eye (the big ferris wheel)

It was hot, we were tired and onto the tube. I don't know what tube station we were at or where we went, but the next stop was Tower Bridge to see one of the oldest and most recognizable bridges in the world. It was quite a site but I didn't take any pictures because my batteries died somewhere between Big Ben and Trafalgar Square.

Memorial to Princess Diana at Green Park

Sight-seeing is great fun and incredibly tiring, especially if it's going to be a walking tour, as ours was. After the bridge, we were all done. So we went to Leicester Square, met up with some more people, and hung out at All Bar One until they closed, then to TGIF and then to come casino (no gambling, just chilling.) This was also the first night that HD and I took the night bus. Luckily, it's only one bus we have to take from Piccadilly Circus to Finsbury Park, and it's pretty fast too - about 15 minutes. So, now we now what to do next time we're in Central London after 12am. A very busy and very good day.

Sunday, Father's Day! Happy Father's Day Dad! (again!) Spent it around FP, did a bit of groceries and HD and I watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring in the evening. It's funny because sword fights really stress her out so for most of the ending she spent it hiding her face in her pillow. Then time for bed! And now here I am, at work, writing this to save and post later this evening. Bye for now!
