It's the big building we all associate with Athens I
think.. I think the British Museum calls them the "Elgin Marbles", too.
Imperial pride and all that.

That's the one! If all else fails there is of course shopping!
The college let us go off for 2-3 hours after seeing the marbles.
damn, that's right, robert elgin wasn't it, who bought the over here for around ?30, 000.

It was a beautiful sunny day today so I walked down through Traflagar Square with my friend and my camera on the way past Westminster Abbey, BP and Big Ben. I ended up at the London Eye to get some photos of the city sprawl.
Here are the highlights from today. The sky looked better, but I didn't spend as much time planning or framing shots:
Opera house enroute to Trafalgar:
Building next to the square:
Another building:
Trafalgar1:
Trafalgar2:
Trafalgar3:
Trafalgar4:
Trafalgar5:
Painter:
Arches:
MapThis!:
EyeSideView:

I have a lot more to upload, but I'll get to those later. I'm going on a pub crawl.

Last night was pretty fun. Instead of a pub crawl my friend and one of his flatmates came with us to club "On Anon" We stayed for an hour or two but it was pretty dead, so we decided to make it an early night. I did get to try Tiger beer which I liked. We'll be trying the club "Fabric" tonight and "Paper" tomorrow. I don't know who comes up with these stupid names, but hopefully the clubs will be fun.
I tried out Wagamama's today for lunch, and it was pretty good food.
I saw a big bottle of IRN-BRU at the supermarket, but unfortunately I didn't buy it -- if they had smaller cans I would have tried it.
Anyway -- I have a few minutes to kill before we get ready to go out for dinner so here are the rest of my photos:
Westminster Abbey/Station:
Full BRU Cab:
Parliament for DK:
Parliament2:
Ben:
BenSunny:
Ben2:
Eye from the bridge:
I love this next shot for some reason. I saw that the walls bordering the Thames had Lion figureheads, and I took this:
Under Eye:
The rest of these shots were taken on the Eye, and don't need much explaining. Here they are in the order I took them.
Okay, last one about the Eye. This is me on the left and my best friend on the right, whose flat I've been staying in all this week:
The inside of the Apple Market:
That's all the photos I'll be taking this trip. I hope you enjoyed them!

Tidbit: For those who don't know, "Big Ben" actually refers to the
largest of the bells within the Houses of Parliament clock tower, not
the tower itself.

You know... SOME people don't have ANY IRN BRU and you're turning your nose up at a BIG bottle... for shame.

One of my favorite board games is "Trivial pursuit"
Its a great way to collect a few tid-bits of trivia.
