On The River Thames
Now I’ve taken a load off my back and feet for a while as I sit next to the parliament buildings on the River Thames (I am sitting right next to it). Westminster Abbey is just behind me. I have also seen Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and Victoria Park. I’m going to soon take the Tube to where I can pick up the Stansted Express.
My knee still smarts!! I just want to be sure to get there in plenty of time and I am tired of carrying around this pack! Glad when I get to Ireland and can have a shower, change and SLEEP! I am not too tired now, but by bedtime tonight, will surely be exhausted. There are quite a number of foreign speaking tourists here.
One thing I can say about this part of London is that they keep the parks immaculate. In James Park where I was first this morning, they didn’t even let you on the grass! It was all fenced off.
I’m really starting to enjoy myself now and am awed by the beautiful architecture here. Also in knowing that I have walked where Princess Diana has, on the steps of Westminster Abbey.
Its still very sunny here and warm most of the time. The winds is a little cool when it breezes up, but not uncomfortable. Seems like all city buses are double decker buses, and there are tons of scooters (mopeds).
I’ve learned quite swiftly to look RIGHT as opposed to LEFT for oncoming traffic when crossing the street. Dam near got run down by Trafalgar Square – wouldn’t that be ironic. I crashed my car last year near the Trafalgar road exit AND on a Friday 13th, just like this one. Eerie. J I’m going to read for a bit and then head out for Stansted.
