Official member of the UK tourist boardWe decided we'd come to England a bit sooner- to do some sightseeing. I was in England couple of times before (including one time with a blog entry), but London is just such a big city, you could easily spend weeks doing something new and interesting every day. I mean- just a short stroll around the city and you're bound to see plaques commemorating famous people and events on virtually every second house...
Yes. It IS 11:30 AM ;-)We flew from Maribor airport to Stansted on Ryanair. Maribor airport is something completely different (if I may borrow punch line from Monty Python). I mean- although I do think small is charming, the terminal building desperately needs to be rebuilt. If there wouldn't be newer computers at the check-in you'd have a complete feeling you fell through a time warp back to late 1970s. ;-) Hopefully next year should bring good things to this small airport. It'd be a good start if they'd manage to upgrade their web page from "in construction" mode after 6 months. ;-)
Me and Mojca stayed at the European hotel near Kings cross tube station. The "hotel" part should not be taken literally though. The general feeling is of a hostel without dorm rooms. And taken from the size of their toilets and showers it'd seem they do business mostly with exchange students from 3rd world starvation-struck countries ;-) The rooms were rather clean though. ;-)
Anyways- we didn't come to London to sleep, so that wasn't to bad. Based on pictures, you can see we had good time. Did the usual sightseeing. Was rather impressed with London Eye.
More on the rest of the voyage and wedding next time...
Bitter tasting at its best
One very touristy picture taken from London Eye with Mojca and Monika and Big Ben
Great views even on cloudy day...
Millenium bridge & St. Paul cathedral. Its galleries closed on Sunday. :-(

"sightseeing" ?!? and more than 30% of photos are from the pub...Ahh ok.. "usual sightseeing"... Nice models though, except that one in red ;)
Anway, CONGRATS TO NATALIJA AND DANIEL!
And I've noticed that you've become snoby about motels now - if I only think of Bratislava times...
Well Robi- knowing me what did you expect? I'm interested in REAL England, not those touristy traps. ;-)
As for hotel- I wouldn't have been snoby about it, if it had "hostel" in a name, and if they wouldn't pull the old trick of putting great room pictures online, with usual small print comments bellow. ;-) Besides- that hostel in Bratislava had its own charm. ;-) Together with algae lighting in bathroom. ;-)
