Back again!!

So, as promised here are more pictures of London.
Me in front of the St. Margaret's Church on Westminster Abbey.
Another panoramic view of London near Westminster Abbey.
The famous Bayswater duck.
That's London bridge...
Me on the bridge.
Me in front of the entrance near Tower of London.
Well, when you see this, you know you are in London. This is the Tower Bridge. Contrary to popular belief, it's no London Bridge.
Another view of it.
London Chinatown. Pretty nicely decorated for the CNY. Wanted to take more shots, but that's when my batteries went dead.

So, it's Saturday night (2nd night in London). We went to Bayswater for dinner, in Gold Mine restaurant. The food was really good. Later, Chee Han and Zhi Hui brought me to the Thames in London. That's where I took the photos of the London Bridge, the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge.


Later, we went to Chinatown for dessert. Then, on the way back, it started raining heavily. Downpour. After seeing Zhi Hui at the bus stop, Chee Han and I ran to another bus stop to catch a bus back to his apartment at about 1+am. It was kinda fun, to run in the rain, with lotsa people tipsy and all. London is really a city that never sleeps.

The next day, woke up at about noon, and went to Camden town (pictures in previous post), and then, had a great dinner that night too, where I finally met up with Wuan Zhu. That night, after packing and all, I went to bed kinda early because well, I'll be leaving London for Dublin, Ireland the next day.

The next day, I woke up at about 8am, and then after brushing up and everything, I was ready to go at 9ish (i think). Really a million thanks to Chee Han's great hospitality. And not sure when we will see each other again. Until then!

So, I took a bus to the Victoria train station, where from there, I walked to the Victoria coach station that will take me to the Gatwick Airport, where I will depart to Dublin, Ireland. As I had few hours to kill, I walked around the Victoria train station area, particularly, to the Buckingham palace.

Snapping pictures around the Victoria station area
Buckingham Palace Mews (The Royal Mews - situated just beside the Buckingham Palace). If you look hard enough, you can see a horse walking through the arch (you can only see its arse)
Me on the coach, on the way to London Gatwick Airport.

Alright, this kinda marks the end of my trip in London. Next stop, Dublin, Ireland!!!

Are you sure that's Buckingham? Which backside of the palace did you take that picture from? Looks more like the parade grounds near the War Ministry to me!
