Last day of our England trip we went to Greenwich park where you can a) enjoy the amazing view on whole London and b) you can see the prime meridian and stand with one half of your body on the Westers and one half on the Eastern Hemispheres.
We also stopped by M&Ms world, where you can make your own M&Ms mix or buy some cups, T-shirts, toys etc. and we ended our tour at the Buckingham Palace (that we saw just from the outside), where the Queen lives nowadays.
Then we went back to the centre of London, now to that part with BigBen and London Eye. We had a tour with our guide around the White Hall - a street with government building, Trafalgar Square - a square reminiscent the famous Battle of Trafalgar, kind of "British Times Square" - square and intersection Piccadilly Circles ...
We wouldn't be typical girls if we didn't visit the Oxford Street - a street full of shops with clothes, jewellery, accessories, cafés and restaurants. Shops like Marc Jacobs aren't in our financial category so we ended (suprise!) in Primark and than again in Starbucks with my beloved caramel frapuccino. By chance the girl behind the counter was Czech, who studied in London and now she's working here.
On the beginning of our tour around the London, our guide recommended us to go to London Eye and also visit the London Dungeons, that I was already terrified of what he told us and I wouldn't never believe that I and my friends are going to go there and have so much fun ... What the London Dungeon actually is? It's kind of interactive "museum", where you appear in a company of really existing or fictional characters of London historie - with those, who you'd never want to meet in real life- Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd etc. I'd like to tell you about my amazing memories from the London Dungeons, but I don't want to spoil, if you'd like to visit it on your own. All I can tell you it, that there is a darkness, corpses, you'll be terrified, you'll scream and your tour will end with your own execution ... And you'll enjoy every single minute of it !
At last we didn't go to the London eye because of not enough time and money so we spent the rest of the evening by sitting on the bank of the Thames, admiring the lighting BigBen.
About one o'clock at night we went to a ferry which took us to France. When we left our bus on the ferry, we were completely exhausted so for a while we were just lying on a couch with a cup of (overpriced, of course) hot chocolate but then we went out on a deck. Stadning on a deck with my friends, watch the waves in the night, the sea and the lights from the retreating mainland was totally perfect and in that moment I started regret we're already leaving ...
