Trip,Track and Fun

London calling

This weekend we went to London.You need lot of energy to visit this city.From Liverpool street we went to Victoria stn by tube.Then onwards the walking that we started at 10.30 am we eneded up in the night 9pm.Puff ! we were realy tired .We went to Buckingham Palace to see change of guards which takes place on alternate days.You need to check the dates of change of guards on their website so that u dont miss it.From there we went to London eye ,walking all the way passing Big Ben and then reaching there.We had bought tickets for london eye and river cruise .You can take ride on both at any conveneient time of your choice but on the date mentioned on the ticket.After half an hour ride of London eye we went to River cruise that was quite narrative.We saw the london bridge on the way,the london school where Isaac Newton,David Beckham studeid.We saw the cathedral where Princess Diana got married and lot of other exciting places not to forget MI6.After that we walked towards the bridge that led us to Charring Cross and we went to Trafalgar Square .It is lovely open space.From there we went to Leichster square ,you will be amazed to see the no of theatres there .Picadalliy Circus was near by,where we took some snaps of some illuminated ads displayed.We went to Planet Hollywood.and then we thut of going to our hotel in Wembley.So we took a train from Picadailly to Baker street .There was a lot of traffic from baker street to Wembley thru bus no 18 but somehow we reached our hotel and we went to eat at Chennai dosa.
Next day we were not in the position to get up..Though it was check out time so we had our breakfast and took off to Swami narayan temple near Neasden.We had not known that we had to walk a lot from there to the temple.It was a better idea to take a train upto Stonebridge or Bus to it. from there you still had to walk but not that much.We had Darshan and we left at 1 pm.From there we went to Ikea all the way walking.From there we went to Baker street in 338 bus to Oxford circus.Since it was Sunday PR2 bus doesnot work which would have directly take you to the temple from Neasden. Just outside the Baker street is Madame Tussaud's Wax muesuem .We reached there by 2.30 pm due to heavy traffic and we came out of the muesuem in 1 hr.We didnot find it exciting as much as we had heard about it.Indian statues were not lokking exactly as they should had.We had a whole lot of time with us before our 9.30 pm bus to Norwich .But we just had our dinner at Pizza hut and we went directly to Victoria coach stn.We waited at a near by shopping centre and took some rest.

During weekend it is better to check if there is any engineering work taking place in your routes while using the Tube.First day we took day ticket which was valid both on bus and train.Next day we took just bus ticket which was quite cheap but would consume lot of travelling time.We had not many places to see on the last day and we also had a baby so it was fine for us to travel by bus.

Wow! is the word for Switzerland.we had a marvellous time.Saw from Mount Titlis to Top of Europe Jungfrauh.went to top ans saw hotel bollywood and what not.Hey let me tell u I was 8 months pregnant.Still I played football and got 3 goals in first 3 attempts while waiting for the lift at the top of Europe.Travelled thru all the diferent routes from Zurich to Lucerne and to Interlaken.We had a lovely time at Rhine river to see rhine falls where we went upto Germany's river end.not to forget the beautifull cruise along the Zurich lake.The whole journey right from Zurich to Interlaken and back was by train where we passed thru lots of lovely lakes.The trip thru the small routes of railway thru small houses covered with flowers,different fruits like apples and pears was amazing.Truely we felt like heaven.If you are interested you can go for tracking or for long walks.you wont forget to buy bells and other souverigns and last not but the least lots of chocolates.There r lots of other things to do like paragliding and other sports.The best time to go is from April to August.You cannot write more about it ,you need to just visit Switzerland to feel it.
