London Calling: a Jolly Boys Outing to the Capital City!

SO, today was the big day, up at 6am on a long trip to London with the University of Wolverhampton! Here is a little review of the day, and some pictures I grabbed on my camera phone.

Dining at the Ritz (or passing it in traffic) we'll eat at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 o'clock...

After a long 4 hour journey on the coach from wolverhampton, the first sight we were greeted with on entering London was the magnificent Nelson's Column towering over us, the foutains were beautiful, and there were plenty of amusing acts entertaining around the site. After stopping in the portrait gallery for an hour (and after an amusing frisk by security) we sat outside in Trafalgar square in the sunshine to eat our lunches.

Enjoying a refreshing picnic in Trafalgar square, the animation crew, in all its myserious bluury magic!

Finally, as the sky was growing dark, a picture of Big Ben from Trafalgar square, before heading to forbidden planet and the book shops for some much needed shopping!

Forbidden Planet was a very enjoyable way to end the day, getting to look at all their amazing figures and toys for sale, I got two posters for £5, as well as a cute little transformer, Starscream! Nice little souvenirs for my visit to the big city.


All in all, a very enjoyable and relaxing day out with some of my best friends, so tired right now, I need a big mug of tea and a nice sleep!
