London Calling

Haven’t posted in a while. Damn. Well, time for something new, right now! =D Since I have been off for a while, and not doing much (does playing EVE count as doing something?), I decided that I gonna pay London a visit. I have never been there, so I booked a flight and off I went. Tomorrow’s my flight back.

I have seen quite a lot on my first day here, enough to actually make me sleep for a straight 10 hours. And at last, since this was a little wish I had since I was a kid, I have seen Big Ben. Live and in full high-definition. Great feeling. Also I took a ride on the London Eye (Millennium Wheel). Great view man. I was REALLY lucky with the weather on Sunday… let me put it this way: The doves and seagulls there are very tame – they eat out of your hand! Don’t believe me? Get yourself there, buy a waffle from a stand close to the London Eye – it’s true.

All in all I had a very good time here, I like the city a lot. I’ll come again some time.

So I think I gonna post some of my favorite shots from here.

Long car… is LOOOOOONG

And last but not least, I encountered a LOLcat in a souvenir store today – which I – of course – had to caption appropriately.

I’ll be back in the UK – some day for sure.
