Francesca in France

Another chopping off of my pictures in London Trip.
Hope you dont get annoyed, this is part 3.
Not important, but what can I do?
Unless I dont fix this, I cant concentrate on my next topic. Hehe...


Millennium Knightsbridge Hotel. A place to stay when in London. Why we end up here in this hotel when we have a booking at Ibis Gatwick? Because, mga sisters, doesnt want us to be isolated in Gatwick, as no life there. So they end up counting the last drop of their money and pay the room! LOL Ayan gumastos tuloy sila. Treat daw kay Michel as wedding gift, hehe. Surprised ang Lolo nyo, when I call him I will not pick him at Gatwick Airport but will see him at London Center as I cancelled na the Ibis Gatwick Hotel. Kala sa kalsada na lang kami matulog, or sa St.James Park, sama ang mga squirrels! Natuwa naman si Michel and at the last goodbye, he realised, na kapamilya na pala niya mga sisters ko! Comedy ang dating, ingay ingay namin sa room ng hotel halos lahat kami, kasi tuloy ang non stop na tsikahan, kinatok na kami ng kapit kuarto. Siguro, french yon? Hula nyo? 


English Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, tomatoes,sausages and mushrooms.
Accompanied by Croissants, Buttered toasted bread with 3 small bottles of different marmalade(strawberry, orange ketchup),freshly squezzed orange juice, brewed coffee and cream.
When asked by the front desk, what breakfast we would like to have in our room, continental or english, sabay pa kami sagot: English breakfast!
Nasa England kami, why not take English ?
Nasira lang ang presentation ng plate dish, kasi later ko na naalala to take picture, how the english eat breakfast. Cute sila, nakakataba lng ng meal, di gaya sa France, isang croissant, orange juice and coffee lang, solve na Bfast. 


Picture ni Lola Francesca in the hotel. Taken morning na, as we are off to Piccadilly Circus and the restof tourist places.Pa cute kuno, hehe.Millineum Knightsbridge Hotel is in the area of signature shops, at Sloane Street, nearby Harrods. 


Michel in Millinneum Knightsbridge Hotel(parang commercial na ito ah!).Whats funny is we cant find the hair dryer, and Michel brought his, but do not go with the plug! Eventually, when our hair was dried( by manual use of towels), we found the hairdryer at the table drawer where he sits.Ang tawa namin, because in some hotels (in France) the hair dryer is in the bathroom. Must be because of the accidents of dryers dropped in the sink of water, so they put it in the salon. Whew, the hotel price per night, costly... But brother in law joined the paying of the bills and offered it to us free. We gave him French wine, 4 bottles, he returned it with a night in hotel and with bar drinks and English breakfast all for free. Well acommodated ang Lolo sa Hotel. Kung maari lang hindi na babalik ng Sunday night to France ! Kasi Lola is still staying until Tuesday...Bwehehehehe...

 


Picture at The House of Parliament,with Big Ben Clock, near the river Thames. At first, I was annoyed with Michel as I saw the Big Ben I wanted a picture asap. He said, no, we walk further. Then we passed by the half of the Parliament House I told him: I want my photo here! He said No, later. Until we reached this area, and voila, a good (but not quite )shot. In 15minutes, the sky gets dark, we got to move quick to Downing street where Blair works, but the gate is heavily guarded,I would like to borrow an umbrella from Blair, Ha ha ha.
On the whole I find the Brits very polite. If in France, and one do not know where to go, the french would say, "je sais pas"( dont know!)Especially in Paris, masungit sila doon. But in London, they try to help. But the royalty and snobbisms is present also in London. Things to buy are expensive, but if one is careful, one would not feel it. I just choose what I like and need, so that I will not suffer much, ehehe. Different people, different culture
