London day 2

On our second day in London we first we walked from the hotel to the place where my mom and dad had the most horrible hotel experience ever, about 30 years ago. It's now a Holiday Inn. We then went to Trafalgar Square. From there we walked to Buckingham Palace, where rain started pouring down. We watched the changing of the guard from inbetween hundreds of umbrellas (several of which managed to hit me in the head :-/ ). Trough St James's Park we walked to the Horse Guards Parade. From there we went to Big Ben. After crossing the Thames we set of on a walk on the Thamesbank all the way to Tower Bridge. There we had a look at Saint Katarine Docks and the outside of the tower.

Onze tweede dag in Londen begonnen we met een wandeling naar de plek waar m'n vader en moeder lang geleden de meest afschuwelijke hotel-ervaring ooit hadden. Het is nu een Holiday Inn. Vervolgens gingen we naar Trafalgar Square. Van daar liepen we naar Buckingham Palace, waar het begon te stortregenen. We bekeken het wisselen van de wacht van tussen honderden paraplu's waarvan er meerdere tegen m'n hoofd mepten :-/ Door St. James's Park liepen we naar de Horse Parade, en van daar naar de Big Ben. Aan de overkant van de Thames begonnen we aan een wandeling langs de rivier helemaal naar Tower Bridge. Daar keken we bij Saint Katarine Docks en de buitenkant van de Tower.

Borough Market

The Golden Hinde. Feeling a de-ja-vu watching photos of these places on my blog? I did the Southbank with Wilma last January and showed the pics. Only those pics showed a lot more sun... Had to go back to the Southbank, not just 'cause it's hip&happening but because I was sent on a mission by Wilma to find her some books @ the souvenirshop of the Globe Theater. Only found one but fortunately it was te one on top of her wishlist!

Southwark Cathedral

a christmas shop. I wonder if there are any year round Sinterklaasshops in the Netherlands?

Hay's Galleria. I was here early 2005 with Maarten and Francien

we made a short detour (wanted to see if the Textile and Fashion Museum had any books in their souvenir shop for Wilma but they were already closed...)
