Seeing the sights

We started out on the bus this morning, its only £1.30 instead of the £2.50 each way for the tube and takes us to the city centre just the same except on the bus we get a better view along the way.
We walked from oxford st to the Thames passing many nice old buildings along the way, including the Australian high commission, then along the Thames to Westminster parliament building and Big Ben then around to Westminster Abbey before going back up to Chinatown for dinner.






London eye



Big Ben is bigger than it looks in the photos and I didn't realise its attached to the parliament building.




Iraq war protesters outside parliament, Westminster Abbey in the background.



Chinese all you can eat. The food was terrible and those of you who know me know I'm not fussy about eating. The beef and black bean should have been called chili beef, the vegetables should have been called cabbage in brine, the sweet and sour pork had a lot of fat and under cooked coating, the fried rice was barely fried, we didn't even bother to try the greasy chips. ** If you come to London Chinatown do not eat here, no matter how good the deal looks, you will regret it, possibly with the exception of "it don't have enough chili yet" Wilson, and then only if you stick to the black bean **



Final thought for the day. Singapore had a problem with chewing gum, maybe there is a solution to this mess that you see everywhere.
