London; Monday
After sleeping for like an eternity we got up and both were more or less ready to take in the capital. We took the train to London Bridge Station and walked a while until we actually found the bridge – For calling it “London Bridge Station” you’d think they put them close together, right? –
But we found it in the end as you can see ;D We also saw Tower of London and the Tower store where I fell in love with this gorgeous necklace, but since it was £ 20 I didn’t buy it. ):
Anyway: After buying a soda we sat down on a bench by the Thames to enjoy the sun and relax for a while. The weather was absolutely perfect, I really needed a pair of sunglasses :P
Seeing as both of us are huge Harry Potter fans, we wanted to see the place where the magic begins – Kings Cross Station platforms 9-10.
But that plan sort of fell apart when we remembered that we had to pay for a trip to even be allowed access to the platforms. Both of us were disappointed, but Mia Malene snapped a pic of the sign just to prove we were there:
After that we went to a mall-type thingy and I bought two books. Then we got on a train, got some food and went back to the hotel for the rest of the day.
The station is ridiculously far from the actual bridge , there is a closer station though! Also, you don't have to pay to get to platform 9 3/4 :D I've been there and it's free to visit :)
It's so stupid, we walked for what seemed like ages before finding the river O_O Really stupid -.-
No way? Seriously? We only saw the usual gates you normally have to go through and we didn't have the tickets so we left :(
