Stefani sees London tourist landmarks at last!

Yes, it is a running joke amongst my close friends and family that when I lived in London for 12 months in the early 90's, I didn't see one single significant tourist sight! We were all too busy working, drinking and socializing to bother with old buildings but this visit, I made up for it...here we go - London Bridge first...


Buckingham Palace...


Trafalgar Square with no pigeons...not quite the same...


And of course, Big Ben..


You've got to love the open top buses - I think after 8 weeks I am becoming a real tourist! It's definitely the easiest way to get a family of four around a new city (without ending up in the divorce courts!). Look how happy we are...!


Below some other nice moments during our London tourist day - giant pans of Paella cooking up a storm in Covent Garden..


A cool painting in a posh art shop window snapped by me as we were stopped at traffic lights - nice.


Us freezing and tired waiting for Earl to 'take the picture now!'...


And finally, the mandatory fish and chips in an English pub - very tasty and loved the faux newspaper wrapping BUT didn't taste as good as our Melbourne flake....think we're starting to get a bit homesick at last.


London Eye tonight (if we can drag ourselves out of our hotel) and Hong Kong tomorrow.
