London in the Night

December 10th, 2008 No comments

I just got back from a little tour of London at night after class. I finished up my final, what a relief! I figured a little celebrating was in order. My friend Jessica and I went by Winter Wonderland. We got our picture taken with Santa! How cool!? After a mug of mulled wine (warm spiced wine) we headed to Trafalgar Square to get some better pictures of the Christmas Tree. I must say the fountain takes an excellent photo!

We both then headed down to Tower Bridge for a few more photos, walked along the Queen’s Path and caught the tube back to the flat. Quite a good evening I must say! This might be the last time that I see London at night. Quite a sad day indeed!

Just two and a half more days to go! I did some packing this morning. I think I’ll be able to get everything squeeze into my suit case and not have it going overweight! Just a few more things to grab and pack up before I’m ready to go!

A Norwegian Fir!

Tonight was a landmark evening. Today was the lighting of the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square. For the past 62 years Norway has given Britain a tree for Christmas as a thanks for support during World War Two. I stood in the cold for two hours to get a good spot and to see them flick the switch to turn on the lights. Unfortunately when the switch was flipped I was looking the other way and missed it. But there are pictures of the 90 foot tall, 90 year old tree. Check out the pictures of course!!

Tomorrow I will be heading north west to Oxford. Look for a lot of pictures from there!
