First Day !

05 July 2012

We left France at 08am and we finally arrived in London 1h later ... That was such a short trip from France to England, but we had fun in the plane because we talked together during the whole trip !

Abbey Road

The Beatles walking on the Abbey Road avenue

Once in London, we went to the Abbey Road avenue to see this famous avenue and take pictures like the Beatles !... It was very nice to take pictures of us and our dog walking on the Abbey Road avenue, juste like the better rockband who had ever existed on the world of music !

We left a message in the Abbey Road avenue sign too !

Sherlock Holmes museum

Museum restaurant

Then, we went to the Sherlock Holmes museum at the 221B Baker Street to visit the home of this emblem of London ... How interesting the Sherlock Holmes museum was !... This is probably one of the best museums we had ever seen ... See the real 221B was such an impressive experience ! We bought many books of Conan Doyle in the museum shop, and many others "sherlock things" ... In fact, we really love Sherlock Holmes and his adventures with the doctor John Watson ... and it was definitely the best place for us ... (Except for our dog, because he was not accepted in the museum ...). How ever, we really enjoyed the visit of the museum and the shop too, of course !

After this visit, we ate in the museum restaurant, with Miss Hudson food ... It was so tasty !

Peter Pan statue in the Kensignton Gardens

Barrie's house

Afterwards, we went to the Kensington Gardens to see the Peter Pan statue ... Indeed, the Peter Pan history take place in the Kensington Gardens, and the author (J.M Barrie) lived just next to the Kensignton Gardens ... So we visited his home too, to continue our "Peter Pan afternoon" ...

How gorgeous the Peter Pan statue was ! We really had a wonderful time in the Kensington Gardens and in Barrie's house too !

Buckingham Palace

Where we had a tea-time

The Queen with her dogs

Then, we went to the Buckingham Palace to have a tea-time with the Queen herself !... She was so nice with us ! Her dogs and our dog were very friends too !... She is such an interesting person, and she was wearing an impressive hat !... Moreover, the Buckingham Palace was so beautiful !...

How an amazing tea time we had with the Queen in Buckingham Palace ! We had the time of our lives !

The London Eye

In the evening, we went to the London Eye ... It was so wonderful to see it in the night ... Indeed, there were many lights from different colours !... How breathtaking was the view at the top of the attraction !... We were abble to see the whole city of London when we were at the top !...

We definitely come back and do it again !

The Greenwich Meridian

Where we had a tasty pizza !

Then, we went to the Greenwich Meridian ... Be in a place with a longitude of 0° was so exhilarating ! There were lights too because it was in the evening ...

After, we ate on a restaurant of Greenwich ... It was a tasty pizzeria, and we really enjoyed it !

The Trafalgar Hotel

Our hotel room

After this looooong day, we finally returned to our hotel : The Trafalgar Hotel, wich is one of the fanciest hotel in London ... We were very tired, so, once in the hotel, we went to our hotel room, and then : slept for a while !
