Guests #2 + #3

I've decided not to incluce too much text in my next posts. Firstly, because I don't want to bore you and secondly...it would take too long (and although I'm not getting sleepy yet, I still don't want to go to bed at 5am, heh). But well, I might change my mind as I continue writing ;).

The first day:
In the morning Ranja, Nina and I decided to go and see the changing of the guard at the Buckingham Palace. We ended up not really seeing it, we just caught some of "the people on horses". Whoever wants to see it - click. Then we went to the nearby park, St. James Park :). It was almost like being in the ZOO with all those different animals...

 

Then we walked around the centre for a bit - went to Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, had fish and chips, and in the evening went to see Lion King - the musical :)). Wow, as always with the musicals in London I was really impressed!! We all were, actually. They were just amazing! You can see a glimpse of it here.

 

Second day:
This day also Gregor (my brother) and Jure were there. Luckily they could all fit into our house :). It was like the perfect timing, because none of my housemates were there - Andrea went home for 2 weeks and Tom left for good, moved into another flat (just after 1 month). Don't even remember if I told you that Zubair (the messy, loud housemate) left. Well, Tom was OK, but didn't really see him that much.

We went to Greenwich by boat. The guy that was telling us a bit about the famous buildings around the river Thames was so funny!! :) It was amusing to listen to him :).

In Greenwich we went to the National Maritime Museum, and of course walked to the observatory.

 

We returned to the city centre by train.

Then we went to climb the 311 steps of the Monument. It's 62m high, making it the tallest free-standing Doric coloumn in the world. The view from it is really nice. + for students it only costs 2 GBP!

 

Some of us (the girls) then went to Tate Modern and saw the Sunflower Seeds exhibition. It was quite unbelievable..to think that all of this seeds were hand painted!!! All of them!! And they look so real...

The day was still not over. In the evening we went to see Ballet Boyz. They were just...surreal! During their performance you could just think "WOW", "ooohhhh", "how can they do this??"... Really great! Video And a lot of songs were from this artist.

 

3rd, last day:

We decided to go to Wimbledon :). Unfortunatelly they didn't let us walk on the grass... But still, we were there. I imagined it being bigger! It looks almost like a normal tennis court ;).

Last day

They went home, so I felt all alone :(. I was walking around with 4 people for the last few days and then all of the sudden, none. Quite a shock!

I decided to go to Museum of London to see a photographic exhibition on London people... And then to what I thought (till a few days ago) it was Spitalfields market. Only yesterday I discovered that it was really Smithfield meat market!! Hehhehe... It was closed anyway. But seemed interesting :). And just found out that it has a bloody history - they used to execute people there! Scarry...

Will continue tomorrow or the day after... :)

Sweets + Good shooting!

End of March was my last day at the School. So, of course I brought sweets :)). Cake for our NONMEM team and muffins for Erasmus students. Well, our carrot cake was really really delicious!! :)
+ on my last day in London I brought icecream as well! Yummy, yummy....hehehh

(I took pictures of rain - especially for you, Irena!)

One day prior to arrival of my guests we (with the Erasmus) went to play (?) laser tag. And all I can say is that by the end of 20 minutes of playing you kind of grow to like "shooting" people, surely not for real, but still...weird feeling! I didn't really thought it would be, but it was, fun. And it's a good exercise with all the running, hiding, being scared of getting shoot... Anyway, I was second best in our team (of 8; and 4th out of 19)! Didn't expect that! :)

Hmmm....

Almost don't know how to start after not writing for so long!! But I promise that this is going to be all different now :). (Se bom potrudila, da bom bolj ažurna!) Since now it's holiday time I hope you will have enough time to read (or more likely just look at the pictures, heh) what I've been doing since...well...quite a while ago.

All the collages are done :). So now all I have to do is post them and maybe write something about them (hope I haven't forgotten everything!).
