London - from dummies for dummies...part IV.
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 10:02 amTate Modern. The slides there are supposed to be art. "Natural forces" or something like that. Looked fun, but we didn't want to wait, so we just skipped it and took a look of some weird looking stuff that's supposed or said to be modern art. I can't believe how people can see anything in blobs of paint...
Ah well, at least there was no entry fee.
Further on through the dark. London Eye looks quite nicely with all that illumination.
Well, here's the standard Big Ben pic - only at night. Funnily enough, the world famous Big Ben was two minutes late on New Year's Eve. We could resist the urge to cheer at twelve, unlike some in the crowd in which we stood in, and waited for the old guy instead to do his famous ding-dong.
But it was cool anyways. Both banks of the river were crowded like hell, everyone waited for the new year and the impressive fireworks, which only lasted for about fifteen minutes. After the last big bang, the crowd split up almost immediately to go home or anywhere else. Must be the british way of celebrating...;P
Camden. The whole town is a friggin' market with strange merchants selling always the same stuff. Nice location 'though.
A really nice location. If it only wasn't for those unbelievably large crowds of people that flooded back and forth in the market district.
Almost done...
