My travel journal about London #4

September 28, 2011
I was thinking about visiting Buackingham Palace because I saw a poster at the tube station during my stay in London.
The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress took centre-stage in the Ballroom at Buckingham Palace during the annual Summer Opening.
I tried to book a ticket on the Internet.  However, the tickets were sold out.

I should have booked the ticket beforehand.

I decided to go to the National Gallery.
I went there on my first day in London, but I didn't have enough time to see the exhibits.
I paid ￡3.50p for a Multimedia Guide.
The Gadget guided me through the gallery efficiently.
After I enjoyed seeing some exhibits, I went to the Prince of Wales Theater to get tickets for "MAMMA MIA".
It was easy to get good seats at the box office.
After getting the tickets, I went to Monument to see my friend.
He was my English teacher in the past.  He taught me English for 3 years.
I intended to take him out for lunch but he treated me.
He made a reservation at a restaurant for us. The food was really delicious.

The food is delicious at Butcher at Leadenhall 

After I met my friend in the City, I returned to my hotel and took a break.
I walked around "Tower Hill", the area near my hotel.
Tower Bridge and The Tower of London are the landmarks in this area.

In the evening, I went to dinner with my friend.
I really enjoyed having Indian food.  There are many Indian restaurants in London.
I went to a traditional English pub after having Indian food.
The pub is called the "Pommelers Rest", which is on Tower Bridge Road just a block from the Thames River.
The atmosphere was very English.
