I'm splitting this day into 2 parts because the pictures are so many and its impossible to squeeze them into one post.
Woke up early the next day for breakfast served in-house! Their croissant, tea was super tasty. We skyped with mom as we ate. It was super cold in the morning though, super windy.
Fruit stalls outside the underground!
Headed to our first place of the day - Covent Garden Market! It's basically a marketplace, selling clothes, accessories, souvenirs and gifts, as well as hosting special live performances and there are also cafes and restaurants~
Saw Charlie Chaplin early in the morning. It attracted many stares of tourists around too. Its a publicity stunt innit?
The birds there are super fat and are unafraid of people AT ALL. In fact they will go near people, especially if they are eating. I tried chasing around some of those but they just run/skip a bit. It doesn't fly away like the SG birds. They are super fat so they cant fly high too.
Macrons!
We went to the Jubliee Market Hall and got ourselves matching bracelets!
Stepped into an Apple Store. Totally different from the ones in Singapore, its super spacious!
Walked past a few stores such as Burberry, and took quite some time at Oakleys becayse dad wanted to get this pair of golf shoes, which he didnt in the end.. and he kept talking about it when he's back at sg. Guess he regretted not buying those. LW wanted to get him those when she went london but it was out of season already.
Wanted to have lunch at this Jamie Oliver restaurant (!!!) but it was still closed. Oh wells. Jamie Oliver is a famous chef, known to host various food television shows. I think those who watch cable knows him too!
Queen Elizabeth's figurines by the window! It's super cute, their hands will literally wave and its hilarious!
Caught one of the performances, a quartet. They are super good, super talented. They played Can Can and other classic music pieces! I also heard opera singing performances, and they were fabulous!
Cute plushie store. Awwwww HELLO KITTY
MORE Gift stores! Selling tea leaves, mugs, chocolates.
A nautical store. Super interesting i really was tempted to buy some stuff from there... but all the stuff there are super expensive and really wasnt worth it. There was no place i could put it at home anyway..
After a while its kinda normal to miss eating rice after eating pasta for quite some time. Imagine our surprise when we saw them selling Hola Paella, which is kinda like rice i suppose. But most importantly it was super good we bought 2 big bowls. Dad was very happy eating it because he was missing rice haha
We walked around more and got hungry again (idk why but its so easy to get hungry there), so we went to this random bistro for pasta! We kept ordering hot chocolate throughout this trip, they were super yummy and good :) Saw this magic performances while eating.
This magician didn't manage to complete his performance though, he kinda got angry halfway because the audience weren't responding or cooperating well so he packed his stuff and went away. Kinda pity though, wanted to see what he's gonna do!
It was getting super cold so we asked the waiter to switch on those mini fire heaters they have near the various seats. Wasn't very effective though, cant feel the heat.
Hot chocolate!
Left Covent Garden after that and roamed along the streets. I love exploring new places! We walked for a super long time, and super far that we ended up walking back to the hotel.
Went to Trafalgar Square!
LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. See what i mean by people sitting around, chilling on the grasses? CANT DO THAT IN SINGAPORE ARGH
Group of students? I love the sun beam captured in this photo!
Streets and streets of shops. Dad wanted a hat so bad so we entered a hat shop. Not approved by their daughters. Not approved.
We no likey hat on him.
Theatre showing musicals and live plays!
Its so ironic how its so sunny yet windy at the same time. Look at HL's hair!
Cabs there. So cute!
Yes there is Tesco there. Is it the one by Malaysia or the one in London? Or are they the same? hmmm...?
I love it that the people decorate their houses with flowers. It makes everything look so much brighter and nicer!
Had to stop by a church cos we wanted to use their toilet... hehe
Yes dad entered the casino for a good 30 minutes. Lol i can totally caption this photo hahahaha
While dad was in there we walked across the street and looked around M&M world for a while. God it was HUUUUUGE, they were selling merchandises, of course chocolates, and also cute plushies!
One of my favourite things about the UK, THE STARBUCKS! By golly it's super huge, the architecture is so grand! Why cant the starbucks in Singapore be the same? They make it look so classy and nice i feel so cheated in SG HAHAHAHA
Okay i think that's all for Part 1. Will post Part 2 when I have the time. Look at all these photos!
PART 2 - PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
