London bridge isnt falling down yet

We met early on Saturday morning & took the train to London Waterloo Station.
It was another bright & sunny day! And the first stop was the London Eye.
They were soooo excited at this engineering feat.
It was like *snap snap snap* away.

But it is lovely anyhow.
Does anyone prefer the Singapore's version?

Look carefully. Its the morning moon in the background.

I think its the Movieum.
Its near the London Eye.
Tourist trap i think.

Then we went in search of the Big Ben & the Parliament building.

I love the gothic architecture.

Haha. Group picture!

We walked along & we found this permanent Anti-Iraq war camp here.

Not sure what that is but its being built or restored at the moment.

I like the huge metal black gates.

I cant remember which building this is.
Its a government building for sure though.

Mercedes wanted her picture of her there. haha.

Another building which caught my eye along the street.

The women of WW2.
Nice.
Anyway it looks just like menswear,
so that says alot.

Trafalgar Square

London National Gallery

Then, we went to nottinghill & visited the portobello market. It was such a pretty place, selling stuff at exorbitant prices. I saw tank tops & other clothes from thailand going at 15pounds! Haha. Too bad my camera went out of steam, so I cant show you guys anything. I'll head back again though, with my trusty bbf cheng wan hua.

But anyway, we had lunch at an Italian pizzeria there & the boss was this damn cute guy who looked like Jamie Oliver, Italian version. He was so charming, he was playing with the kids in the restaurant. He made conversation with most patrons, held the doors open for the ladies etc etc. I think some of my espanol babes had a crush on him, after "not seeing cute guys for the last 2 weeks". hahaha.

After that we went to the tower bridge/cityhall and had our siesta. zzzzz. It was a really long day.
