London Trip in Pictures ~ For Saturday Snapshots

 I have already written here that I had been to London for new year. This trip was memorable. I have been there before and have been to all the popular sightseeing place the city has to offer. So this time, we planned our trip differently. We spent a good amount of time enjoying Indian food at Indian joints in Wembley and Southall. Southall had been on top of our list to visit and we really enjoyed 'the desi' experience.


Indian style market at Southall!
Of Course, I had to eat here!


By 4 pm on new year's eve, we were in the fireworks show viewing area near the Big Ben and London Eye. The crowed swelled by the hour and we were only glad to have reserved our spots early.


It only at 10 pm things go started there with music and the lovely changing hues of the London Eye. In simple words it was just gorgeous!


The fire works that happened at sharp 12.00 am and lasted for about 11 minutes. It was one of the most spectacular show and something I will cherish forever. It left me dazed, stupefied and dumbfounded and I did not dare to click a picture, least I would miss something. Also, I knew my camera would not be able to capture even 1% of it. Thanks to BBC for the high definition video on youtube. I have watched it several times again and it still leaves me speechless.

 

 Thank you for stopping by! Cheers!

  9. Looks like lightning flashing from inside Big Ben in places.
    Is it European custom to have fireworks at New Year's? Fellow writer in Denmark mentioned it in his blog. We have fireworks on Canada Day.
