London

During the weekend I went to see London! I took a bus up there and travelled through the night and I was pretty tired when I finally got there. I just wanted to check-in in the hostel ans sleep a bit before going to wander around. Finding the hostel wasn't as easy as I thought. My map said it would have been somewhere where it definitely wasn't but I was able to find it in the end. In the hostel I found out that the check-in starts at 14 which was a little bump in my road. Battery had died from my phone and I was planning to charge it while sleeping but I didn't let it hold me back. I just left my bag there and took my camera with me and headed back to the underground.

I remembered seeing that the London Eye was in Waterloo so I headed there first and from the station there was signs that guided me all the way there. And there it was, the London Eye, and Thimes, and Big Ben etc. Looked like I didn't need maps from my phone after all!

While I was walking towards Big Ben I saw few other attractions and one of them particularly caught my eye: the London Dungeon. From the posters outside I got the idea that it might me something like a horror house so I wasn't so sure if I'd dare to go in. I have never really liked horror houses, but since I wasn't sure I went to talk to a lady who was selling the tickets. I asked her if it was like the horror house and she said yes, so I told her that I wasn't so sure if I wanted to go in then. Then she said that it is a bit scary but it's more like a show rather than a horror house. After I confirmed that the actors weren't allowed to touch I bought the ticket. And it was money well spent! I laughed so much inside and the show itself was amazing! So if you go to London, I definitely recommend to see the London Dungeon! It's very great way to get to know the history like Guy Fawkes, the Black Death and Jack the Ripper among other things.

Then I walked to the tourist bus and asked how I could find the Madame Tussauds and he adviced me to go the other side of the road and told me the number of the bus and even the road when to get off! Even in the bus it was easy to know when I'm on the street because there was a screen that told the streets' names in time.

Inside Madame Tussauds I was first scared that I paid way too much for the ticket. Like all the figures do look great but I was expecting something more. When walked ahead there was apparently also some horror experience but because actors chase the visitors I didn't dare to go in and I took the safer path.

Later I saw a huge Hulk! It looked amazing! I also saw Batman, Ironman and other Marvel heroes. They also were selling popcorns and sweets and I realized that there's going to be a movie. I bought a Belgian waffle with white chocolate sauce and one of the employees looked at it and I saw that she also wanted one. She was amazing! There was also a guy in a lab coat talking to people before the show. He also came to me and asked me where I was from and when I told him that I was from Finland he said ''moi''. I was a bit surprised and right after he said ''Mindblown!''. He knew few words in so many different languages! Stunning!

It was a 4D marvel movie! I was able to feel a wind blown and Hulk sneezing at my face. It was great!

In the evening I found my way to Buckingham Palace, thanks to underground announces telling me that I should now jump off if I wanna see the Palace. I walked trough a park and there was this cute little statue of Paddington bear. But I wasn't believe my eyes when I was in front of the Palace. Not because of the Palace itself but there was over 100 Santa Clauses and Elves there! After taking pictures awhile I walked around the Palace and I honestly didn't expect it to take that much time to walk around.

On my way back to the underground I walked past the Duck Island and saw some duck hiss at the squirrel. I also saw some birds I had never seen before.

On Sunday I went to see museums. Unfortunately at some point I had hurt my foot so I wasnt really able to put weight on it. I tried ignoring it and went to Science Museum but I really wasn't able to enjoy it much because of the pain. It was just too much.

After I went to Natural History museum that was right nextdoor and I asked there if I could loan a wheelchair and luckily they still had few there. It was quite an experience to go through the museum on a wheelchair and there was so much to see! The museum was great and there was also a dinosaur exhibition! I love dinosaurs and fossils <3
