*********************************************************************************************************************
London is one of these magical cities that you can visit over and over and every time it is like going to a new place. I had been to London several times before, but the visit in August 2003 turned out like a whole new experience again.

**********************************************************************************************************************

HYDE PARK

**********************************************************************
My first day started out with a beautiful sunshine and a first big shock. I decided to go for a rollerblade ride in the Hyde Park and guess what I found there? More litter than I have ever seen in my life!! I was so amazed by the view that all I could do was to walk around and take pictures of the place. Many questions were running through my head like "Why does this famous park look this way?" "Why isn't this cleaned?" and so on.. Later I found out that the park had a big celebration the night before, but I still think that it was unacceptable to find a part in that condition the next day at noon. Anyway, I definitely experienced something new and fortunately it was the only bad memory from my trip:)
**********************************************************************

THEATER

************************************************************************
I couldn't imagine visiting London and not seeing a play/musical. I have always loved theater and although many plays are made for tourists and for making big money, they are still some of the best that I have ever seen.

    You saw so much on your trip! I really like the London plays too! It really is a great city--but as you said, expensive!

    did you go to the Royal Mews (stables) where the horses and all the carriages are kept (behind the palace) It's really worth a visit but not many people get to see it.
