Went to London for the fourth
time. The journey takes three hours by bus
I usually get off at the Victoria Coach Station, but
today there were a lot of people getting off at the Park Lane,
so I followed suit. As it was still very early in the morning (8:30 it was!), I decided to take a walk around the Hyde Park.
I saw many people commuting, cutting across the Park, which reminded me that today was only Wednesday - I loose my
time from this whole summer holiday business. I found a beautiful rose garden near Hyde Park Corner.

At around half past nine, I started walking towards the Piccadilly Circus, for I wanted to buy some tea! I bought loads of
tea at Fortnum & Mason for myself and for souvenirs. I felt somehow guilty spending such a lot of money, but as I found
myself a job, I thought it was okay to indulge myself a bit. After that, bought an one day travel card for the tube and set
my next journey to see the Tower Bridge - east of London. It was my first time seeing the Bridge with my own eyes and
it sure was beautiful, but the Tower of London which is located right next to the Bridge appeared less impressive.
Maybe, had I bought the extortionatley expensive ticket (￡10 after discount, could you believe?), I could have enjoyed
the great history of it, but from outside, it was just an ordinary brick wall with some nice grass around it.
Having enjoyed the nice scenary from the Bridge, I decided to go back to the city centre and have a look at some museums.
First, I went to the National Gallery - this one is my favorite. Then, today being Wednesday allowed me to have a look at the
Victoria & Albert Museum, which was down south of Hyde Park. I enjoyed both of them, but got ehausted after visting two
museums in a row.
