Big Ben & Madame Tussauds


Hi!
We woke up early this morning, to have a breakfast at the hotel. There was a lot of good food to choose between.
But I saw that all of the hotel guest ate an proper English breakfast with eggs, bacon, beans and some mushrooms. And of course they had a cup of tea for the breakfast. Therefore I also chose such an English breakfast.
 
Later, when we were full and fat, everyone went shopping together.
After shopping we went to a café nearby to eat lunch.  

We walked around on the streets in London, in front of the big clock, Big Ben. Big Ben is actually the nickname of the bell biggest bell of the clock.  The four other bells are used as quarter bells.

The clock face has a diameter of almost 7.5m.
The clock tower is actually the tower of the Houses of Parliament, and is 96,3 m tall.

We were standing under the clock, and could see the 4,25 meter long minute hand pointing at 2, and the 2,7 meter long hour hand point at 12. Then the bells ring two times.



The same bus driver, with the same bus as yesterday, drove us to the nearest subway station. Then we took the underground train to the nearest stop at Madame Tussaudes museum.

We saw a lot of wax celebrities. The wax figures were really cool!

We took a bus to Hyde Park. That’s a really big and nice park. We had picnic lunch and took a lot of pictures.
