British Capital - London, England

When you see the city, you may feel the same way.... its like as if the city is time-frozen. Looks sad yes?

cold city

walking up the hill towards the castle

Windsor Castle, huge home of the Royal Family. Around 52,000m2... 10thousand times a sharing room basis in Abu Dhabi.

looks lonely here

Buckingham Palace

the famous kiss of Prince William and Kate happened there after their wedding - on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace for those who watched it...

London Tube- underground train transport...the cheapest, fastest, easiest way to get anywhere in London.

This is a pretty wax model of princess Diana, one of many real-life famous people replicas inside madame Tussaudes museum. I was hoping to see Jose Rizal...hehe.

The London Eye, 30-40 minutes ride in a complete revolution, you can see the whole city up there, maybe that's why its called like that, very big eye, indeed.

the biggest eye

Clock Tower, old great Big Ben is inside this beautiful structure- the bell that faithfully chimes hour by hour and every quarter of an hour.

mr. big ben is the clock

at night....London bridge over the Thames river, I think it is not falling down, it is very steady actually :)

cold freezing evening

Town of Stamford, England- here they produce good quality wool, sheep's wool no wonder...they tend many sheeps here...

great Cathedral of York Minster- tourists are not allowed to go inside, but you can go in as a christian...

The Shambles (York) - very narrow streets, we must walk here side by side hehehe, very old timber buildings almost leaning each other and looks like it might fall down anytime, feels like home...

You know Canola cooking oil? it is produced from these yellow flowers, these plants covered most of the farmlands, you can see it  anywhere in the country roads of UK.

stepping on a 1,800years old remains of Hadrian's wall...It is the name of the Emperor who built it 'to separate the romans from the barbarians' ;)

On board the Royal Yacht Britannia, 5-decks before its the Queen's ship, now Scotland's tourist ship, still on the sea but steadily parked only coz its old.

Edinburgh (Scotland) it is pronounced as e-din-bra...this is the castle housing the crown jewel of Scotland, not allowed to photograph it but i tell you it looks like our sto. Nino's crown. (William Wallace is the statue in the right).

Castles have big guns...here is one, hehehe the nozzle is pointing at the city.

This is the HAGGIS. Our tour director and the host in our scottish dinner, said Haggis is a native animal which is difficult to catch. Well, when I tried it, it taste like our 'sisig' filipino dish made up of 'laman-loob' or internal organs of the animal, suspicious right...it is actually cooked out of sheep's heart, liver and lungs. good joke folks!

Town of Chester, famous for its black and white half wood-half stone nice buildings.

 Stratford. This is the house of William Shakespeare. very old yet tourists admire it.

Wales, west of UK. Cardiff Castle (this country has so many castles). Compared to England, and Scotland (I dont know about Ireland), the Welsh gave the warmest welcome.

City of Bath, the spring water is not allowed to touch. Ssshh... I touched it and its warm. History said in the olden times, this place was treated as holy place. Very old 30,000 roman coins was discovered here under this place...now 1more is added when I made a wish. (I wished I brought a peso).

the water is steaming

still standing

 The 3000yrs BC mysterious Stonehenge monument.

Very cold here but people still go see it....people loves mystery aye?
