We went into London with very low expectations. After all, it is an extremely touristy city. Unfortunately, it did not even meet our low expectations. Perhaps it would have been better if we had an insider's perspective into the city. Regardless, London has been our least favorite city thus far. For some reason, however, we took many pictures. Have a look :)
| The British Museum |
| I would have loved to see more, but it was far too overwhelming. |
| A cool view through the ceiling |
| The first of several cliche London pictures |
| We thought the Thames River was the dirtiest river ever... Then we experienced Brussels. |
| St. Paul's Cathedral |
| We encountered this flower several times. I think it was the Queen of the Night tulip? |
| Apparently, it's a myth that the guards cannot smile. |
| I thought it was funny... |
| Piccadilly Circus |
| Yep! We found it! Haha. It was a cantina. The menu actually seemed rather authentic to home. |
| Trafalgar Square |
| A "living portrait" |
| Get excited! |
| The London Eye - £20/person (the equivalent of $32 USD). The first of many rates for tourist attractions that should be considered tourist extortion. |
| Houses of Parliament & Big Ben |
| Yep. That's a telephone booth, a double decker bus AND Big Ben. Quintessential London. |
| Strolling through Hyde & Kensington Parks |
| Our little duck family. They were quite cute. |
| Some of the best food ever when you're hungry in a foreign place. |
| We decided to go to the Charles Dickens Museum... Biggest waste of time & money ever! It was basically a tribute to Oliver Twist full of photographs of original paintings. |
| Kristina's reaction |
| Westminster Abbey |
| Buckingham Palace |
| Tower of London - £20/person. Again, one of many times that London decided to rip off its tourists. |
| Bangers & Mash and Fish & Chips. Notice those wonderful peas... They were quite possibly the nastiest I've ever had! The English definitely are not known for their gastronomical prowess. |
