Up In The Sky

The London Eye by day...

I had a lot of fun riding one of the capsules of the London Eye. It was a cold day for us to be going out but because we were already there, we decided to take a ride in London's giant ferris wheel. It was crowded that afternoon and it was already 5:00pm when we lined up for boarding. It was perfect for us though because of the night landscape.


Me, enjoying the night up in the sky...


With my Mommy who is as delighted as I am...

The ride took about 30 minutes and it was an exciting feeling to be slowly going up. You cannot even feel that you are already way up high in the sky because the movement was very slow. From up the capsule, one can enjoy a 360° view of the city of London and yonder. The Big Ben and the Houses of Parliaments looked very beautiful too! One can also see the beauty of the Thames River that runs through this magical city.


The London Eye at night... I love its blue glowing color.

Breathtaking isn't it?

Bournemouth Beach


A delighted happy me, all wrapped up even while at the beach.
"Di na talaga ako mababasa nito!" Surely, I won't get wet with my get-up! Hehe!

I had my first visit to the beach when my Tito took us to the town center and then to the beach. Bournemouth, they say, has one of Europe's best beaches and during the summer season, it is packed with beach fans from all over Europe.


Playing tag with my Kuya Luis.

Even in the winter season, there were still lots of people. And if you are living in a tropical country like the Philippines, you would have smirked at the sight of people all wrapped up and taking a walk down the beach. But of course, it IS winter and it's no wonder if you all see me in my jacket, bonnet and all!


Feeling the sand against my booted feet was weird at first...


But the more I walk and run, chasing after my cousin,
I realized it is one of the best playgrounds yet!

I really had pure fun feeling my booted feet against the sand. It was a new experience. The fresh chilly air and the blue sea just yonder just delighted me so!

The Hogwarts School!


A view of the Christ Church University from the War Memorial Garden.

England is a very beautiful place. It is one country that is popular among movie makers. And if you are a big Harry Potter fan, I am sure this will interest you.


It said KEEP OFF THE GRASS! Hihi!

Our visit to England brought us to Oxford City, home of the great scholars and famous the world over for its universities. The wheels of my stroller and my companions' feet took us to Christ Church, Oxford's most spectacular college and the place where the many scenes of the Harry Potter feature films were shot. Sadly, we didn't get to tour inside the college because my parents failed to have our money changed and they don't receive credit cards either.


Looking through the steel bars. I feel like a prisoner in Azkaban!
But at least, it has a great view!


We did have a look around the grounds and were able to enjoy the view of the Meadows and the walls of the Hogwarts School. :D


My Mommy and me. Giggling like there was something magical going on!

The next time we get to visit, we will definitely take the tour inside. And by then, I would have already appreciated Harry Potter and the rest of the wizard world.
