Alarm went off at 06h00 this morning, we had only just fallen asleep, but hey things to do and things to see in magicial London. We were up and at breakfast by 07h00.
Caught a London Cab to Buckingham Palace, its still dark outside, it is freezing cold and the rain is pelting down but the Nic Chicks are adament we are seeing Buckingham Palace. I dont think our cabbie had any sleep either as he was as crabby as can be - well he only received the fare and not a cent more - old arsehole.....oxygen thief....coffin dodger.....ok ok its early for us too ok. We did giggle a whole lot not sure if oru sense of humour was in full force or we giggled from exhaustion - but it was funny.
We spend a whole 20min admiring Buckingham Palace and then tried to find Victoria Station in the rain, gave up and called a cab, at least he was a bit more pleasant clearly had a good night sleep - lucky bum!!!
Off to the London Eye,which is walking distance from our hotel, day is clearing beautifully and has warmed up a bit, more tourists are creaping out of their holes and we are now in queue to get on the amazing London Eye ride, the worlds tallest observation wheel. The view is breathtaking, you can see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben a gorgeous view of the River Thames and just a stunning view of London City.
After this we went to see a 3D show on London and the London Eye - bit boring but Shanie and I were highly entertained by a dumb Chinese chick who was filming the whole 3D show on her phone without the 3D glasses cause she was wearing those and seeing a perfect picture on her phone. We giggled so much - lucky the show was short or we would have been kicked out for sure...lol.....
We then went souvenir shopping for our friends and family back home.
12h00 midday was our transfer to the airport for our flight home, we are exhausted......but happy to be going home....but sad to leave this gorgeous city!!!!
Our flight leaves at 17h50.
Missing our friends and family and looking forward to the flight home and some rest, our legs and feet have been exercised to the max - if we had to add up the km's we have walked in the last 3 weeks I am pretty sure we would have done the Comrades....maybe even twice!!!!!
We have made some incredible memories, some breathtaking moments, spent some magical time making dreams come true....been close together through the most incredible three and a half weeks of our lives.....we have no words for what we have experienced - we can only try and put what we saw into words but what we have are memories and these will last forever !!!!!
DON'T CRY BECAUSE IT'S OVER......SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED !!!!!!!
