A day in Central London

We were tentatively thinking to buy London pass, which provides free entry to 50 destinations, which is otherwise ridiculously expensive. The usual price for a three days pass with travel costs GBP 83. But, last week we came across London Pass promotional offer for GBP 77, so without second thoughts we bought it online. We are planning to use the pass from 13 to 15 April. I'm very excited about this trip.

Well, to collect this pass we had to go to Britain Visitor Center in Piccadilly Circus, Central London. London has excellent public transport system, but the ticket costs are exorbitant. However, there is an option of buying off-peak one-day travel card for GBP 7.50.

After collecting the pass, we wanted to make full use of the day card. So, we used the map that we had collected from the Visitor Center and started the wild-goose chase. 

This is the statue of Eros, in Piccadilly Circus. As, I have read a lot about this place, we spent some time looking at the old buildings...

Then, we headed to the nearby Oxford Circus, which is supposed to be the shoppers' haven.

This time, no shopping. Believe me, except for buying an Easter egg made of dark chocolate^^.

We were just gazing at renowned buildings such as Liberty Theater and the Palladium...

Throughout the day, the weather was good with clear blue sky. Later, we headed to London Bridge. Yes, finally, we had a stroll on the banks of the Thames and one of my dreams has come true! Thames experience is worth another post, so guys please wait for my updates:)

Home Sick

I miss my friends, the hustle, heat, crazy road signs and tall buildings, the la slang, makan and everything in Kuala Lumpur. Not even a month yet, I miss my second home.

I long...

to sit in the open-air balcony at Endha Villa and sip hot tea!

I long...

to speed in my car. 

I crave...

for that yummy Chinese Veggie food, especially the butter lotus root fry...

I Yearn...

to drive through the tall buildings and beautiful landmarks...

The above picture shows the bronze statue, Palace of the Golden Horses...

Here in UK, as Spring has started, the flowers have started to bloom, I guess they would help me to chase my blues.
