Amazing London

It is always our wish to visit London since student time. We knew that whatever the budget is, visiting London will be expensive compared with many other countries. Thank God and "Good Samaritans" for this golden opportunity.
Taking the opportunity of Eid Festival on 1st Oct 08 to 5 th Oct 08, we decided to take 5 days good break at London.

Here is the is start of our exciting and fascinating tour to discover London. Visitng London is incomplete without checking out the following attractions.

MADAME TUSSAUDS

Welcome "Spiderman" pose by Raymond at the famous MADAME TUSSAUDS!

mmm..not bad to taste what it is like to be famous joining a host of the world's hottest celebrities - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - EVEN their statues!

Audition of Bollywood Star with the judge Amita Bachan. Ashawarya Rai is searching for a new face for her lastest hit. Raymond - are you qualified?? heheheeee....

Beauty and the Beast. Incredible Hulks, " YOU ARE MY MAN!" Michelle said.


"CHANGING THE GUARD" AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE

London's most recognizable and most frequently visited landmarks, the awesome Buckingham Palace.

Michelle & Raymond were eagerly waiting for the Changing The Guard Ceremony outside Buckingham Palace.

The Changing The Guard Ceremony is accompanied by a Guards Band. The process involves a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard.

The Queen's Guard in the traditional full dress uniform. I love his red tunics and bearskin.


BIG BEN & HOUSES OF PARLIMENT

Do you know "Big Ben" is the name of the clock inside the famous tower? It also forms part of the Houses of Parliament


THE LONDON EYES


The beautiful scene of The London Eye at a height of 135 metres is the biggest Ferris Wheel in Europe.
TOWER BRIDGE

Tower Bridge has become an iconic symbol of London which is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge.


HARRODS


The splendid building of Harrods which by the brand itself , has always prided on a reputation for excellence and finest-quality merchandise. You can see on Michelle's face, a true sensation once she steps out. Harrods cannot be beat by any stores!


STONEHENGE
An experience which we will never forget. The great attraction of Stonehenge is the mystery of this massive and awe-inspiring structure.
There are tons of story behind Stonehenge, involving everything to aliens. Unfortunately, the people who built Stonehenge didn't leave much evidence of why they built this massive structure.


FOUR SEASONS AT BAYSWATER


Four Seasons Restaurant - no matter rain or shine, they will be always a queue ouside the this Restaurant with eager diners awaiting their seats for the supposedly legendary roasted duck. Raymond and Michelle were queuing for half an hour. From outside of the restaurant, you can see that the duck hanging side by side, glistening and lacquered has created a seductive lure on us.
The glistening dark brown skin says it all. The meat is so moist and tender that it crumbles nicely as you bite into it. Raymond's favorite kai lans with oyster sauce were perfectly cooked, crunchy and amazingly fresh.
Michelle said:" It is well worth of wait!".
