Day 6 - 2nd August 2009

Determined not to miss out on Madame Tussaud wax museum again, we set off to Baker Street very early on the day. We reached in front of the museum approximately at 8.20 A.M and discovered we're the second couple to arrive there. We sat for the next 40 minutes in front of the museum while watching the queue starting to build up and the entrance to be opened. I'm glad to say it was worth all the extra effort to get inside the museum, the statues being displayed was shockingly lifelike although not all of it are exactly the same with their real life counterpart. We spent the next 40 minutes taking pictures with the wax statues and started progressing towards the lower area where London Dungeon is situated. London Dungeon is basically a ghost house where paid actors dressed as a ghost would jump randomly and scare off any unsuspecting visitors. One of the unfortunate visitors happens to be my wife =p....

After wax museum, we made our way to Trafalgar square to visit the National Gallery. There were a lot of paintings being displayed dating back from 14-15th Century. Most of the paintings here are influenced by religious and Romans culture. We then scoot of to Oxford Street to do some window shopping although not as tiring as yesterday it was still pretty exhausting.

Our last stop for today was Emirates stadium, the home ground of Arsenal football team. Coincidentally, today was a match day between Arsenal and FC Rangers so we could see Arsenal fans swarming and thronged the streets to Emirates stadium. The authorities even cordoned off access to certain area to ensure smooth flowing traffic and to allow non-stadium-goers like us get the opportunity to take pictures and return back to our hotel safely and comfortably. Arsenal went on to win the match 3-1.

Until then,

Regards,

MARK
