luinaldaThe "sightseeing" part will consist of several parts of its own (probably 3 or more), because there are quite a lot of pictures I'd like to fit in here. ;-) They aren't really in any particular order...
Piccadilly Circus
Coventry Street
The direct way from Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square.
When I was there on Sunday it looked like this:
Only 2 days later they had already changed the decoration for the Olympics...
Personally I liked the Union Jacks better. ;-) The "London 2012" banners look a bit... boring, I think. *shrugs*
But you could already see flags and other signs for the Olympic Games all over the city.
Leicester Square
The tkts booth was actually the very first thing I went to on Sunday morning. :D I wanted to buy tickets for "One Man, Two Guvnors" on Wednesday (evening performance) and "The Phantom Of The Opera" on Tuesday. I had no problems with "One Man" and got a good seat at quite a good price. :-) "Phantom" was a different matter. The guy told me that they usually do get tickets, but not before Monday, probably only on Tuesday even... I then went back to tkts on Monday morning again, but as they still told me "Tomorrow maybe..." I ended up buying my ticket directly at the Her Majesty's Theatre as I didn't want to take any risks. ;-)
On Monday I also had a look around the "M&M's World" shop, which is really quite big. ;D It was very interesting seeing all the merchandise and stuff and I loved those big tubes with the m&m's in them. *yummy* But I didn't buy anything in the end...

Date: 2012-07-22 06:51 pm (UTC)Bin aber vor allem auch froh, dass ich nicht genau WÃHREND der Olympics da war, da ist bestimmt die Hölle los...! ;-) *g*
Habe mich auch super gefreut mit One Man... *yeah* Habe jetzt 28 GBP bezahlt für eine Karte die sonst wohl 49 GBP gekostet hätte, da kann man nicht meckern. Und der Platz war echt super! War zwar "side view", aber das hat gar nicht gestört. Immerhin 2. Reihe im Royal Circle und SEHR nah dran. :-)
Und das Stück war auch richtig klasse!! :D *rofl* *gg*
Mhh, ich glaub ich wusste nicht mal, dass die da gebaut haben... *lol* Grade mal nachgeguckt, war irgendwie genau zwischen den beiden Zeitpunkten wo ich zuletzt in London war (August 2010 und jetzt) - konnte ich also eigentlich nichts von mitkriegen. ;D *gg*
Sah zwar gut aus, aber irgendwie besonders fand ich's jetzt auch nicht. Sind die ganzen Handabdrücke eigentlich schon länger weg, oder jetzt erst? Ist irgendwie das einzige was mir aufgefallen ist... O_O *gg*
M&M's World war echt cool. Was es da alles gibt. :D Hätte ich gewusst, dass ich am Ende noch soviel Geld übrig habe, hätte ich auf jeden Fall doch was gekauft. ;-) *gg* Naja, vielleicht dann ja beim nächsten Mal.
