Trip to London Day 1 Thursday

Hi blogger friends,

last weekend i had my trip to London. Me and my good friend Franziska spent 4 days there, from Thursday to Sunday.
We had a long list what we wanted to see and do. We arrived Thursday mornig and left our luggae at Victoria Station. From there we used the Tube go get to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben/ Houses of Parliament. After we shot some photos we walked down the road via White Hall to see the Changing of the Horseguards. After this we walked through a park via Buckingham Palace. There were lots of people, we nearly could walk. We thought this were only tourists, but we were wrong. As we walked away there was a horse buggy arriving  with, i think,  3 persons inside. I don´t know who it was but those people where deffinitely there because of them. We walked away from the palace towards Hard Rock Cafe because we were hungry. But it was to crowded to get a seat. Also the shop was filled with people. It was no joy to be inside. So we walked to the next Tube station and drove to Victoria again. There we had our late lunch.

From there we started to The Tower, where we used an audio guided tour all around. We also watched the crown jewels. It took about 30-40 mins to get inside, but it was worthwhile....
Then we walked over to Tower Bridge, this was the time it started to rain.  We had much more on our list for this day, but the rain made it not possible to go sightseeing. So we got back to Victoria, grabbed our luggage and headed forward to our hotel(Tune Hotel) near Liverpool Street Station.
The location around was ok, the hotel really new, clean and modern. The rooms are a bit small but hey, we only sleep there...

Later, when the rain had stopped we drove back into the centre where we had a ride on the London Eye. The view from above is unique.  From there we headed to Picadilly Circus where we walked through the streets to find a nice restaurant that´s not too expensive. We found a little italian restaurant where we had a pizza and noodles. From there we got back to our room where we arrived half past eleven...
