We woke up at 7:00AM today, again took us awhile to get ready and we check out around 9:00AM. We went into a local grocery store and grab some pastries and some drink and got on a BIG BUS and headed to Madame Tussauds. We thought the line is going to be long but we got there early enough before the big tour group came. It is not recommened to bring many stuff with you when you go visit Madame Tassauds, or you'll be yell at :). So many famous figures in there, we rush through and take some pictures, we missed many of them. There's only one way in and one way out, we had to go through the dungeon, scary and one of the ghost step on saodokmai's foot. We finally made it out by 11:30AM. It is too late to go see the Changing of the guard :(. I was really looking forward to this event.
We hopped back on the BIS BUS and headed to WestMinster Abbey, this is one of my favorite place to visit. This is a Church, it is also a burial and memorial place for many famous historical figures from the last thousand years of British History. Photography and filming is prohibited within the Abbey. So, you have to be there to witness this great place. So many tombs, Shakespeare is also buried in here. Well, I can say we met many kings and queens of England :)
I didn't go to the bathroom there, you'll have to ask Saodokmai how it is :). We bought sandwich, the sandwich stand was set up above the burial ground, we sat and enjoy the beautiful view and had our lunch. There is a sign that said "Don't Feed the Pigeons" I looked at the guard and kind of throw the bread in the air, hahaha... and I glance at the guard, he saw me but pretended not to see me and I was laughing. This was the end of the Abbey visit
Next we walked around and headed to BIG BEN, House of Parliment. We didn't have enough time to fight the crowd to go inside, this place is so huge we don't even know where the entrance is and we were running out of time. We took some pictures. Walked across the Westminster bridge and headed to London Eyes.
The line wasn't bad to get into the ride. The ride took 30 minutes. We can see London from above.
It turned out, some guy decided to commit suicide in Paris and jump infront of our express train comming to London. At one time the announcement was our train is canceled. I wasn't feeling great at this time. We waited some more along with the rest of the crowd. At 5:45PM we finally get to board our train heading back to Paris. I felt much better. (Added PS from saodokmai: Actually the incident that got our train dealyed happened in Calais on a train that was going to Brussels, not to Paris. It wasn't clear what really happened but they called it a "fatality") Geeezzzzz okay :).
Even better :) ** a-ham ** we had a GREAT views infront of us. One sitting right across from me, we got a seat that had a table in the middle and we face the other passengers. Another cute guy sitting across from us to the left. Haha... we can't really look at them, so, another way is to look at the windows. It was dark outside, the reflections work out well, didn't it saodokmai? :)
We had a mini dinner on the train, it wasn't good at all.
We got to Paris around 10PM. We were hungry by mid-night and didn't want to venture out.
Another P.S. :) SaoDokmai: The bathroom in Westminster were not so clean and stinky.
