I'm a majorly prideful Ex-London Expat. Which basically means that it's super hard for me to bring out my camera in Central London and look like a tourist. How about you learn some humility, Ashley?? Yes, I just talked to myself in the third person. That's neither here nor there.
The good news is that I did humble myself enough for one crazy half-rainy, half-sunny day on my last week in London Town. I'm glad I did, because now I have some pretty pics of my fave sites. Enjoy the beauty of one of the
most beautiful cities--that's a lot of beauty going on!
Travel tip: People always spend tons of money on overpriced double decker site-seeing buses. If you feel like you'd like to skip the sometimes annoying tour guide, just hop on any usual London bus which will cost you less than 2 pounds. All the buses you see in this photo (the 9, 3, 13) are just a few of the MANY that drive through Central London. Otherwise, I think Westminster Station is one of the best to get off of to start your walk by Parliament.
Travel Fact: Big Ben is actually the name of just the bell (and people sometimes tell me it's the name of the clock as well). This tower is actually named Elizabeth Tower. Of course, I often just call it Ben because I'm lazy.
Not many cities offer better views than my dear London.
And so the sun has set on my London posts (until I go again, that is). London and I will always have our special relationship. But for now, I'm content will all the opportunities before me Stateside. It's been awhile since I've said such a thing! (Gasp!)
