London (UK)

[davito]

OK I have some last pics for you people

part of Piccadilly Circus

part of Westminster Abbey, very impressive

Big Ben and London Eye in the back. Guys, this London Eye scarred the hell out of me. As a country boy from little Swizzie I am not used to heights like this hahahahaha our highest building in Switzerland measures around the same as London Eye around 136metres. So I was a bit sick LOL but I survived and can tell you it was such a cool experience to go through this half an hour ride. on top it was just beautiful and view was excellent that day as the sun came out.

little tube session for fun

busy Oxford Street. I love big cities and the vibe on their streets

This was our Hotel in the northern Part near Finsbury Park (by Underground one stop after Arsenal, taking Piccally Line). It was safe with a 24h reception. It is a two star rated Hotel but we only needed a bed and a shower as we were running around the city the whole stay.

Hope you enjoyed the little tour.

London, you will not get rid of me

btw. guys, are there enough places where we can change money € -> £ and the other way around? thx.

[Chris]

Nope.  None at all.  Send all your Euros to me.  I'll make sure to send you the correct amount of pounds sterling.

Minus a slight processing fee.

Probably won't even notice the difference…

No.  London is one of the major tourist destinations in the world, so we deliberately provide no provision to change your money, after all we don't want you to spend whilst you are here and help our balance of trade…
