Introduction
Over Easter 2005 I went to stay with my parents. At that time they also had a couple of German teenagers staying for a visit, so we did a few touristy things.
Milton Keynes
No, this isn't one of the touristy things. Since I haven't got a bike at the moment and the buses suck, I decided to walk to the station on my way down south (which involves walking more or less north, but whatever). It's about four miles. On the way I found a few things to photograph.
London
After a half-hour train ride to London (I got a fast one) I decided I hadn't had enough walking, so took a not-very-direct route across the capital to Waterloo.
At one point I was getting ready to photograph a garage door in some building and was rather surprised when a voice squawked out of the nearby entryphone, 'Don't take a picture!' What the fuck? I took the picture and walked off sharpish. It turned out to be a crappy picture, which is a shame because I wanted to post it just to spite the mystery voice. Oh well.
Staines area
Once I reached my parents', a couple of times over the weekend we went out to wander around the town a little bit.
The day out
We dragged the reluctant visitors out for a day of sightseeing: to Greenwich on DLR for a quick visit to the Royal Observatory, then back to Tower Pier on boat, then to the Tower of London. (Which is hideously expensive, and don't even think about seeing the Crown Jewels unless you want to wait in a queue for hours, or have picked an unpopular time to visit. Mind you I've seen them before and they're not very exciting anyhow...)
