8 new things I did in London

Been to London for the third time made me bored planned for something new especially for my family first time in London. I really made a list and google and read Trip Advisor reviews for my trips.
*proud of my homework

=Below are my new experiences=

1. Took the London Eye capsule with mom and bro. I feel so happy cos we have free rides, thanks to my accumulated Leisure vouchers. If not, it would cost us £18.90 each.

One word to describe it: awesome



Inside each capsule, there are several Samsung tablets displaying the London attractions




 Big Ben looks so small from the top


 This is the most amazing view from the top *shining light from God


2. Took a city cruise from Westminster to Tower Pier.
Again, thank God, this is free, using Tesco vouchers *ahem, want to earn vouchers in UK, find me and I will teach you. The cruise ticket normally costs £8.40 per adult, student £5.88






The Tower Bridge (tourists always call it London Bridge)


3. Wore a transparent raincoat.



4. Hugged a tree with my brother.



5. Went up to 4th floor Egyptian Hall, Harrods to see Pet Kingdom 
# to get to Harrods: stop at Knightsbridge station (exit Harrods, Brompton road)

We saw dogs on treadmills and haircut session but no pictures allowed inside.




6. Paid a visit to Dodi and Diana's memorial located at the lower ground Egyptian Hall, Harrods.



7. Visited Westminster Cathedral and stunned by its beauty inside.
# to get there: stop at Victoria tube station, turn right when come out from the station, keep walking past the traffic light until you come across a McD, then turn right and you will see this amazing church











 



8. Stayed in Travelodge Waterloo.
# to get there, stop at Waterloo station (exit Waterloo road), turn right and walk straight for 7 minutes  

 Its lounge area


Review: The newest Travelodge branch in London (they have lots). The family room is very big, but only one small window for ventilation. Nvm, we are happy enough to have a standing fan and new bathroom to compensate the window issue. We are so happy to enjoy free wifi at the lounge area.
#Highly recommended

Paris part 3

Random booths selling paintings and pictures along the Seine river


 Found your love?
Lock your love along the Seine river

 Pantheon

 Luxembourg Garden

French are smart to put spikes onto the statues to prevent the birds from resting and pooping there

Saw a tourist guide explaining this statue to others so I thought maybe this is someone worth remembering

Saw a pretty lake beside the green statue

 You must try the croissant in Paris (cost 1 euro)

 Nutella and banana crepe

You can only get this in Amorino shop (behind our rented accommodation). Buy a cone and pay (I bought a medium sized cone for 4.50 euro). Then choose as many flavours as you like and the girl there will shape it into a flower for you.

 So tempting

 We are spoilt with a lot of choices behind our accommodation

The souvenir shop near Eiffel Tower
