London, Day 2

[elleflies]

Wow. It's been awhile since I posted.

I'd blame work but it's not been terribly busy. Instead I've been hanging about twiddling my thumbs on reserve and slowly going crazy. I've not been home to Houston in about... five months so my headspace right now isn't terribly good. When you spend that long going from bunk bed to couch to hotel room... lets just say I wouldn't advise it.

I'm leaving for Frankfurt (ugh. Again) today and thought I'd dig my head out of the sand long enough to post some pretty pictures.

Tooling around London on my second day there was basically all about knocking out the super touristy things: The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey... All the iconic stuff.





















It's a Peace Public Strike Box. Get it right!










I couldn't believe how gaudy this thing is... so I may have taken more pictures than is actually sane.


The Royals have... amazing taste.


St Jame's Park... shinyopals was laughing at me when I took this shot. Harrumph.
















The London Eye... we did NOT even try and ride this thing. The lines are, from what I've heard, very long.


Back to the Houses of Parliament...


Oh Noel Fielding... Never change. Also - Don't believe the naked red demon. IT LIES.


Found this in the bathroom of a cafe... Nice to know Noel can't help himself when it comes to graffiti.


This is really just a small sample of the photos I took. If you're so inclined to want to see more.. they're all tucked away safely on Flickr

5 months living out of a suitcase? Yeah, I can't imagine that being very fun! But those pictures are gorgeous. I LIKE the one with the flowers!
They all make me very jealous - I'm dying to go to London when I can! Which will be in forever lol
