London Day 4

Another gloomy day in London saw me forking out another £5.10 for the daytripper tube fare. Nothing is cheap in this place and thats an offpeak rate!!

Todays first tube ride saw me off to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museam. You have to queue for everything in London so I thought I'd be smart and prebook my ticket online so I could jump the queue... Well, everybody else had the same idea so surprise surprise when I get there I still had to line up for 40 minutes to get in... This place was a blast however the experience was somewhat ruined by the incredible overcrowding. You could barely move while in there and I had to wait 10 minutes just to get a pic of Spiderman. For some reason nobody cept me wanted a photo of Elvis and ofcourse I couldn't resist Uncle Mel... There was also something similar to a Chamber of Horror's and I managed to get the bejeebers scared outta me in a pretend dark alley full of ghoul's...

After this I caught two more trains to my next destination - the London Eye. Once again I had to line up for half an hour before boarding my flight and it was raining (hard to believe i know...) but it was fun anyway.

The rest of the afternoon was spent walking around again and I think by the end of the day I'd caught about 12 different trains... It would have only been about 8 if Westminster station didn't catch on fire... The tube is so reliable... NOT!!!

Tonight I'm getting ready to leave at 7am and this time tomorrow I'll be in France!!
