My London

All good things have to come to and end. Sadly this is the final day of this holiday. But it is not a sad day at all. Because I am thrilled that I was here at all. In life you always have to be grateful for the good things that happen to you, in your life. If you don't have that attitude. Then when something good or special happens. It won't mean anything to you.

The final day of my trip has been special. The weather has been perfect. Everyone, including the English themselves complains about the weather in London. But they shouldn't complain at all. Because in my experience when the weather is nice here. It is really nice, and that makes up for all the crappy days.

I completed another walking tour of the city of London today. This tour was a real classic. I took the tube to Green Park. It is a short walk from there to Buckingham Palace. I was in time to see a little bit of the changing of the Royal Guards.

From there I walked all the way to Trafalgar Square. From there I walked over the River Thames, using the Jubilee Bridge. Then I walked all the way to Lambeth Bridge, on the south side of the River Thames. I took some great photos of the experience. Doing this walk gives you some amazing vantage points of the Houses of Parliament.

From there I proceeded past the Houses of Parliament, and right up Whitehall, back to Trafalgar Square. I must say, doing this walk on a picture perfect day. Gives the visitors the reason why. London is still a special city to visit.

Yes there are down sides to visiting this great city. The cost, the commercialism, and the traffic and the crowds. Will get to you after a while. But this great walk today, put everything back into perfect perspective for me!

Tonight is my chance to visit, Royal Albert Hall, and to see the opera Carmen. I do look very forward to that!
