My Dad's trip to London

                                                           My Dad's Trip To London

My dad went to London for a business trip. I asked him to take some photos of London landmarks for my blog, and he came of home with some stellar images to share with you. He even got me some souvenirs from the United Kingdom.

These are the things my dad brought me from London: A street sign, a notebook, pens and pencils and some fabulous post cards.

During the trip, my dad went to a Chelsea Football Club match. They were going up against a German team called Schalke in the Champion's League Tournament. Chelsea won  3-0 in their home stadium which is called Stamford Bridge (notice the street sign above).

My dad could see the entire field from his seats.  It was a great game, and Chelsea went home happy. Schalke did not.

These are double decker buses. They are very common in London.  Usually, they are red.They have staircases in them. A bus ride  in London costs 2 pounds and 40 pence. How much does that cost in US currency?

These three pictures are pictures of Buckingham Palace. On the left, you'll see the front gates. On the right, you'll see the whole front of the Palace. In the middle, you'll see the royal guards who watch the Palace 24/7. Their hats are very humorous to me, because they are tall and fuzzy.

 Do you notice anything different about this car?

I'll give you a hint:  In London, cars don't drive on the

same side of the road that we do here in the USA.

This is a London phone booth. They are very known around the world as a symbol of London. 

This is big Ben, a gigantic clock in London. If you saw Cars 2, you would have seen Mater, Finn Micmissle, and Holly Shiftwell tied to the gears. It is a very old clock. It is one of the most important landmarks in London.

This leads to the London underground. If you look very closely, you'll see a sign saying "Underground". That leads to the London subway system, which is an easy and fast way to get to around this world class city.
