Lazing around London

As promised, some pictures of our recent adventure to the UK.  Huzzah!

Well, except for the fact that our first two days in the UK were spent in London recuperating from the long flight.  To be honest, we weren't actually that keen on spending time in London as we wanted to head into the countryside.  However, after a 13 hour flight, we thought that a couple of days in London to rest would be nice.

Turned out to be a good idea as on the second day, the kids fell asleep halfway through dinner and didn't wake up till the next morning!

The Monument, which if you are familiar with London, will tell you that...

... we were on our way to London Bridge

By the way, walking across London Bridge while singing "London Bridge is falling down" - totally did that!

Gerry managed to find a giant pearl

Ice cream!

Pro-tip - always take kids to London Bridge before Tower Bridge otherwise they will be completely underwhelmed by London Bridge.

And naturally, while in London, we had to go see the dinosaurs

Disneyland Parade

Woo!  Finally back in Hong Kong after an extended period of travel.  Will upload pictures of our holiday next week but for now, I quickly wanted to wrap up the Disneyland post with some pictures of the parade.

The last time we were in Disneyland, we actually managed to get a great spot to watch the parade.  We were basically right at the front so I decided to see how close up I could get with the zoom on my digital camera.  With that said, its a point and shoot so don't get too excited.
:)

Still, the close ups of the parade are interesting in that it gives a very different feel to looking at the pulled out shots which I have taken in the past.

Love the colours on Minnie's dress

I always feel a great deal of pity for the poor guy in the suit given HK is over 30 degrees and 90% humidity :)

Check out the size of that grin

Can't help but wonder how much their jaws ache after completing one parade
