London some time ago

Around March this year Ben and I went to London to see the musical FAME! as a wonderful Birthday present from my parents! So at last I am going to post some photos from that fun weekend.

This is the hotel room we stayed. Very nice! :)

Saturday

On the first day we went for a walk around the Whitehall area.

One of the busy London Squares.

A caged garden in the middle of town!


Architectural differences!

We mustn't let him out! ;-)

The eye of London. York has one now too, copy cat! But they wouldn't let it be put in town so it's out near the Railway museum. hehe!

Big Ben! :-)

Me next to a guard. Dad took a photo similar to this in Canada next to a Canadian guard which he loves, so I couldn't reisist adding to his collection!

After a fun but very cold day in London we hate some great Japanese food (there aren't any Jap restaurants in York and Ben and I have missed them lots!) and went to see the musical. We had fantastic seats, about three rows from the front!

Just before the show started!

The musical itself was great. Neither Ben nor I thought much of the first half, but the second half more than made up for it, with much better songs, excellent dancing and some nice plot movement (which to be fair, was set up in the first half). Well worth it! :-)

Sunday

The next day we went to Camden markets, which was very touristy and we didn't actually buy anything. And then we were going to go to the London Museum but decided that we were too tired and cold so went to see V for Vengence at the humongous Odeon in town. A great experience and an interesting movie!

While we were waiting for the movie to start we grabbed a hot choc and people watched, and also found this:

I really like this movie! Its about love after marriage, and Billy Crystal is a brilliant comedian and actor.

After a second Japanese dinner (this time at restaurant chain called Wamagama - very nice!) we caught a late train home having had heaps of fun!

Thanks heaps mum and dad!
