Before I reached my destination...
Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London » London City
March 26th 2009 by RokiaontheRun
Before I reached Bucuresti, I took a very long side-trip that I will now invite you on. I took the first flight to London for exactly one day, most of which I spent sleeping. But I did get out for a couple hours in the morning, so there are a couple pictures of London's oh-so-famous landmarks.
Then, I took a flight from Gatwick, London's least terrible airport after Heathrow, to Milan, Italy. From there I went on to Torino (or Turin, though I think it sounds slightly less than glamourous) and Como, which is most noted for its lake. It was a wild dash through Europe.
I am now in Bucharest, so I will soon return to the main subject of this blog.
We will soon reach our destination. Until then, have a nice flight!
Picadilly
The famous street that ends in a circus. Interesting note, its just called Picadilly, not Picadilly Street/Road/Avenue. Like 12 Picadilly. Strange
The London Eye
The London Eye is on the South Bank of the Thames. It gives you a great view of all the city and is particularly pretty at night. Its right across the river from the Ministry of Defense...but I guess ... [more]
Westminster
The edge of Westminster, including Big Ben and the edge of the Westminster Bridge and a boat.
Westminster Brige
A view of Westminster Bridge. As I crossed it, someone put a strange piece of art on the sidewalk of an arm that looked ripped off. Not sure what statement was being made.
Duomo, I
There are two main things I saw in Milan: The Duomo, which is the central Cathedral in the middle of Milan, is one of them.
Vittorio Emanuelle II, I Milanese
The famous shopping center in the same square as the Duomo. Walked through quickly, so I didn't get time to stomp the testicles of the bull (Note: A tradition said to bring luck, not a personal quirk)... [more]
Milan Centrale
The second thing I visited everyday was Milan Centrale. The central train station in Milan and a good place for a hot pannini.
