My brother Billy and his friend Ken finally arrives 3 days later from Frankfurt to join us in London. Its a good thing considering that I'm so effing broke already from all the shopping thus far. And so, the sight seeing journey begins.
So the next best thing to do is to post for pictures. See this lion statue? Yeah, must have some sort of reason why so many people go through the trouble to have this shot. What trouble? Yeah, see the below picture ...
It is built on a concrete stab at least six feet high, so we gotta climb our way up, or for my case, get drag all the way up.
Another photo ops at Trafalgar Square
Facing the famous Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery. Just by taking a picture in front of this fabulously intellectual looking building makes us look smarter already!
Moggie told us that our next destination is the Buckingham Palace and it is within walking distance. But since Annette left us, I highly doubt the definition of 'walking distance'. But hey, we're tourist and we want to take pictures so we just obliged with walking our way to the palace.
Boy, aren't we glad we followed Moggie's suggestion as the sights all around London town is just so very beautiful.

Since we're walking, we can also run to the middle of the road at a traffic light and strike a pose! Only can be done if you're a walking tourist.
Tada! The Buckingham Palace. The official residence of the British Monarch. Prince William and Prince Harry not in? WTF?!?! OK, let's continue our walking journey.

Next stop, the Big Ben! Must be the most famous clock tower in the world right? Built in 1834, apparently still the largest 4-faced clock tower in the world. Since there's only 5 more minutes, we waited for the clock to strike and listen 'live' how it sounds like. OK, I didn't turn into Cruella or anything.
No, its not just a freaking telephone booth. It's the Iconic Red London Telephone Booth!
Located at the Jubilee Garden, this is the London Eye. It is Europe's tallest ferris wheel.
Next, London Bridge or Tower Bridge
