Hold my hand, inviting you to the queen’s land!


Hello friends. Welcome!
How’s the joyride of life?
For new experiences and memorable memories to unravel, I believe one should travel!
So! Ready for the take off?
3, 2, 1?
Hello!. London!
With our co-travelers and with you dear readers,
The day began with a visit to the Madame Tussaud's wax museum.
Impressed by the selfless attitude of the amazing personalities
Who smilingly allowed us to take unlimited selfies,
We moved through the museum for a wonderful ride
Of a virtual taxi that took us through the history of England.
Next, the city welcomed us with its various attractions like Hyde Park, River Thames, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, etc….
The Hyde Park. Located in central London, is a major park in London. It’s also the largest of the 4 royal parks in London forming a chain from the entrance of Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, via Hyde Park Corner and Green Park past the main entrance to Buckingham Palace.
The park was established by Henry VIII in 1536 and opened to the public in 1637, and quickly became popular.
Big Ben. An UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987,
Is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London.
The tower stands 315 feet (96 m) tall. The climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps.
Westminster Abbey is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London.
Our cameras and eyes were constantly busy at all these places,
Capturing the wonder around us and engraving everything in our hearts.
After some quick clicks in the area of Buckingham Palace,
As we had a similar experience in the  flyer of Singapore,
The London Eye, a 30 minute city-flight,
Became a perfect call for a sleepy night.
Next day saw us in travel for several hours. The beautiful landscape, the clean, green streets, the occasional, disciplined traffic, the structure of houses everything was just awesome.
Turning our eyes left and right, we arrived at another London site… *The Kohinoor*.
The Tower of London is a historic castle located in central London.
The Kohinoor, meaning the mountain of light in Hindi, Urdu and Persian is one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, weighing 105.6 carats (21.12 g),[a] and is part of the British Crown Jewels.
Presently it’s displayed for the public in the Jewel House at the Tower of London.
The journey through the Jewel House was wonderful!
Along with the Kohinoor, we saw the other crown Jewels as well. There,
We realized that culture and history was remarkably well-preserved.
Till our next meet
See you!
