A sewing wall, literally!
Hi I am john & I have a seagull on my head!
Back to the shopping area
With still much to explore!
and shop!
The street markets do yield some interesting finds...
Before departure, it's back to St Mary's street for lunch!
At this rather neat pub called Lakota with nicely priced meals!
Off the train I go! Bye Cardiff!
Happy new 2010
Fireoworks by the london eye
As viewed across the river thames by Black friars
Booze check, now it's party party time!
Man the streets were packed to the brim!
It's literally bumper to bumper!
Visiting some landmarks in the dawn of the new year!
Hey we are at St Pauls!
Christmas tree!
Heading back by the underground after the event
The underground at maximum capacity
The platforms were literally spilling! Train approaching!
The same can't be said inside the train too!
It feels just like Japan subways at peak hour!
Off to the countdown!
Overview of the...
damn overcrowded streets
Booze shop, that's where everyone is heading too!
Some of this and some of that....
Trying to get to the best vantage points!
And the fireworks are off!
Here we are at the London 2010 New year day parade
Held at Piccadilly circus
There are few iconic displays
Many marching bands
And cheer leading groups too!
The parade saw itself many popular sights in London
A marching band in green
And another in red!
Fancy marching and blowing?
Interesting costumes on display
Traditional horse drawn carriages
And vintage autos too!
All um loaded up?
Colourful costumes are part of the dress code
Bonus points for the multi colour flags!
And the watching crowd keeps coming
Woo japan!
A far view of where the parade's coming from
Any band with uber chrome instruments floats my boat!
may the force be with you
