London - Day 2

8.04.2017 - Second Day

I already knew this day would be a busy day.

We had booked Madame Tussaud's at 9:30 so I woke up at 7:00. We had breakfast in the hotel (very simple and no muffins unfortunately). As it was close to the hotel, we made our way to Madame Tussaud's by walk. The sky in the early morning is so beautiful and it match so perfectly with the buildings. That's in this moments that I feel so happy and lucky for being able to take photos of this views and not also save the memory but sharing it too.

At first, Madame Tussaud's looked like the planetarium in Belém (Portugal). We got in and it was amazing!

It's so well organized and the dolls look so realistic. Really! Even the eyes seemed alive!

The first room is for the actors. Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, etc... And let me tell you, Emma Watson were so BEAUTIFUL! I mean, she is, but her doll was too.

So I wanted to take a photo with Cara Delevigne and I had to walk in the catwalk and pose in the end. It was really fun but I suck at it.

In the movies' part there was a giant gorilla and roared and even his eyes were blinking and moving! It was amazing!

And I saw Katniss Everdeen! My queen! I knew she was there and I was so excited about it! Beautiful!

Then we went in a little train and saw the history of London. Even the ghosts looked real! I had so much fun!

And a 4D movie! I had already saw a 4D movie when I went no Zoomarine in Algarve, but this one exceeded all the expetations! Water, wind, chairs moving and even claws in our backs! Once again, very realistic and awesome!

Everything in Madame Tussaud's was amazing! If you are going to London, you have to visit Madame Tussaud's!

We get out of Madame Tussaud's and pass by Carnaby Street. This Street was very cute and somehow quite creative. And like in so many other streets in London we see a lot of street shows, from drawing on the sidewalk, dancing, singing or even pretend you're an invisible man (which reminded me of Millard from the book Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) or a floating Yoda. I love this kind of things!

After that, we went to lunch. We bought chinese food in China Town and we ate in that garden with the Shakespeare statue. We had a realy good time there.

Then we made our way to the SEALIFE London Aquarium by walk, so we could see more things in the route to there.

The London Aquarium is very near to the London Eye so we saw it before we got into SEALIFE we and also passed by Big Ben. And it is huge! The architecture is so beautiful! And it has so many details! It's so much better than the photos. Really beautiful.

We got in the Aquarium and my camera's battery died, so I had to use my dad's phone. The entrance was amazing! The floor had glass so it was like we were walking above the sharks.

The rest was interesting. And I was excited about the famous tunnel of the Aquarium but when I got there, I was a little disappointed. It was way smaller than I thought it would be and darker. Besides, we didn't see a lot of fishes in that part.

I really liked the turtles', sharks' and jellyfishes' aquariums and the rays' tank was very funny because there was this ray that was very exhibitionist and I found it really cute.

Unfortunately, I think that this could've been better. The Aquarium was a little bit poor cared. The fake leafs and plants had a massive layer of dust and that's not very pleasing to the eye or for people with allergies.

It's good but not extraordinary.

We had a quick look to the London Eye and then we went to see the Buckingham Palace and stopped in a big garden. We lay down on the turf. Our feet hurt like hell so it was good to rest a bit.

And for may surprise, in our way back we passed by another big garden and we saw squirrels EVERYWHERE. And if you gave them food, they would come near to you to get it. They were sooo cute and funny!

We went back to Lancaster (I think) and we had dinner in Subway. My sandwich was very good and it was the first time I ever ate in Subway.

We went back to the hotel, me and my sister stayed a little bit in my friend's room and then we went to bed and ready for the next day. At least me, Rita really enjoys sleeping.
