Outside of crowded Big Ben...which really isn't as big as you would expect. Protesters were outside of the Parliament building promoting peace. One of them has been living in a tent outside of the building for 20 years! 
St. Paul's cathedral where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married.
In front of the London Eye, the most popular paid for attraction in England. It takes roughly 30 minutes to go all of the way around and costs about $30 a person!
This picture doesn't do this place justice, Westminster Abbey is absolutely gorgeous! A beautiful example of a gothic cathedral, complete with rose window and flying buttresses. There is a service everyday as well as tours.
The Tower of London which used to detain and execute prisoners up until the 1700s. The prison is attached to the Tower Bridge which is magnificent and understandably the most popular bridge in London.
As we were on our way to see the Tower Bridge we came across this unique building and just had to take a pic.
This is the Southwark Cathedral which has been in use for hundreds of years, although the actual ground has been in use for religious purposes for 1400 years. It was massive and surrounded by beautiful gardens where people eat and lounge. 
This was one of the first places we went and definitely interesting. They did have some interesting pieces including some Piccaso, Dali, and a beautiful Monet. Not so cool was the sexually explicit gallery, which was just creepy.
This is the famous Tower Bridge that we ended up walking acrossed. Walking seems to be the theme of backpacking across Europe.
Just an interesting sculpture so we figured we would put an "A & E" theme to it. Yes we are dorks but like to think we're cool.We want to thank everyone for your comments! We really appreciate hearing from you guys!
Haha, yes you two are dorks. But quite fitting I must say...Whose got two thumbs and is sweet at blogging? You two...
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE the A&E. Too funny. Why didn't you go to the sexually explicit gallery? You've been before!
ReplyDeleteI love following you around London although that ferris wheel sounds a little scary. You two are a little dorky but at least you didn't try to form the letters A and E with your arms and legs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much time you two have left in London, but check out Pall Mall, and Trafalgur Square, and be sure to dine on some F & C.
ReplyDeleteLove following you two around London. Dorks, yes, but would any of us expect anything different? Absolutely not!! You had to do the A&E. Now see if you can get a pic like that in every country you visit. I laughed when I read that the luggage didn't make it, especially when Erika, you and I talked about it when my luggage didn't make it to Ireland. At least you weren't without it for 2 days!!!
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I'm so jealous! London looks so fun! And yes, I'm agreeing with my mom on this one, you had to do the A&E thing. That's hilarious! I laughed out loud when I saw it. You guys are definetly huge dorks!
ReplyDeleteLove,
