We had a big plane ride to London from Auckland to brunei which took 10 hours then from brunei to dubai took about 8 hours then from dubai to London took 8 hours so I was absolutely stuffed! when we got to London we got on a tourist double decker bus. We saw all the major sites. we visited the Tower of London where lots of people were executed and madame Tussaud's wax museum which was so real looking it was hard to believe the people weren't real.
Yesterday we went to Greenwich and I stood with one foot on each side of the prime meridian. Do you know what that is? I had one foot in the northern hemisphere and one foot in the south.
Today we went to Buckingham Palace and watched the changing of the guards. We saw the underground bunker where the Winston Churchill was during world war two. We went on the London eye - it was a bit scary going up because we were really high.
London is really big, they have a lot of buses and a underground train that we take everywhere. It is really busy all the time.
