Around London



Category: My latest Europe trip | Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 1:34 pm

here is another of Marble Arch from the other side. When you get up close you can see the huge marble blocks that were used to build it. Its a great monument.


Here is another one closer


The streets in London are very narrow, compared to what we are used to in Australia. Buses miss each other by, sometimes, inches. In fact, our bus scraped another on a couple of occasions! There are signs all over the bus saying "Keep hands arms & head inside the bus."


And here is the famous Ritz Hotel. It is one of the most prestigious and famous hotels in London. Inside it is ornate in the extreme. In years past the Ritz was THE place to be seen. It catered almost exclusively for the wealthy aristocrats and high flyers. Today it still caters for those types, but also caters for more "middle of the road" guests.

I bet there has been many narrow misses between buses alright. Phew!

The Marble Arch is very impressive.

Yes, marble Arch is great. I was surprised there is no grafitti on any of the most well known monuments.
maybe they cleaned it off, I dunno. But there is grafitti elsewhere.
Nevertheless, it is a welcome sight to see them 'untainted'.

Great photos! My aunt and Uncle live in Adelaide and have a shack along the Murray so it was great to see your photos of your trip along there. You have inspired me to start a blog of my own! Thank you.
