Today Teresa wanted to go to visit Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross National Rail Station (1). Just cos we can. So we decided that we'd do that then go for a wander around town and get ice cream and take pictures.
At dinnertime, it was just going to be the 2 of us because Susan was tired and Berlin was out. Then after dinner Abigail decided she wanted to come with us instead of going to watch Grease at Guys Campus with Lorelle and Evangeline. Then Teresa convinced Susan to come. Then as we were waiting for Teresa at reception Sandeep came back from class and found that all her friends (us) were going to be out, and she wanted to hang out with people. Then the movie was full so Lorelle and Evangeline went to King's Cross and waited for us. Then at King's Cross Berlin called me and said she was there with Chris. Then Berlin had a friend from Melbourne, Michael, coming.
So in the end there were 10 of us- Teresa, Abigail, Susan, Sandeep, Lorelle, Evangeline, Berlin, Chris, Michael and myself.
Platform 9 3/4 was actually a let down. It wasn't even at the station. Apparently it used to be at the station, but because they keep renovating, and probably also cos something like that causes congestion, they moved it. It was just outside, in a little alcove. But Abigail was really cute and got really excited anyway :)
Then we took the tube to Leicester Square (2), because we knew it would be all lit up and pretty. We went into M&M world!
Then went to get ice cream. We treated ourselves because you can't get Haagen-Dasz in Australia!
Then we walked to Piccadilly Circus (3) and watched buskers do really bad renditions of California King Bed and Baby.
We walked south down Regent Street, down to Pall Mall and The Mall, walked along The Mall to Trafalgar Square(4) then down Whitehall to Westminster Bridge(5) then across Westminster Bridge along the Southbank(6) to Waterloo Bridge (7) where we caught the bus home. At one point we found a bench and just sat there and watched the world go by. It was peaceful.
Speaking of Westminster Bridge, something I came across today while searching for student discounts: http://www.studentbeans.com/worldweirdweb/fails/penis-shadows-found-on-westminster-bridge1820.html
LOL. (I know you're laughing, dad)
So yes. The views were beautiful, but the photos not so much, due to a lack of DSLR. But I'll steal some photos from Berlin, she had her big camera.
Got back just before midnight, and I don't feel like sleeping yet.
