London in 8 hours

London in Eight hours ...

Being driven and walking around 10000 feet .

Some cities are meant to be walked through ,London was ,

Its relatively narrow famous roads were clogged ( good word ) with tourists ,that going around in luxury buses with visitors was near impossible .

Parking was another impossible feat .

So when the chesire cat Mickey our amisble Chinese lady guide who hailed from Hong kong who kept smiling all the time told us

Hi folks lets adjust and hop over to Buckingam palace and follow it up with others ,shall we ?

And do take your totes and arrows and axes along , we idiots never realised we were asking for it .

Walk ...more than 8km to those with a 0.2 km pot belly .

A chilly 7 to 9 C with freezer winds on off passed sharp winds breezing us to thecbones , it was daunting feat but thanks to the sun who kept is warm .

So one smiled at the frozen gaurds ,at the moving horses , the clicking Chinaman , the grinning goobledeegook ,the smoky hot dog Italian chef , the lone musician ,the towering Gothic churches , their haunting bells ,

the Big ben the parliament sqaure the flowing Thames ( its broad deep shipping channel that brings big ships into interior

The London eye the Tower of London and its grotesques only because of the sun .

The sapping walk of the finale was to the British musem ,

After reaching its front using superhuman energy we found that the line went around almost another round .

The museum had thousands gaping at dead scrolls and wrapped mummies from Egypt and Mesopatomia and

I always used to complain lack of basic facilities in tourist spots in India and kerala .

From now I will continue but realise most modern cities like London givd primitive facilities

Thev Thames cruise I skipped instead being sole passenger to the experienced lady driver Sharron getting a ringside view to historical roads to click pictures .

At 7 pm we checked into the luxuries of my room Mariott ..courtyard near London city Airport to hit the sack literally
