A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit London one more time. In my opinion the British capital is always an interesting place to visit, offering so many things to do, places to visit and food to eat, that is hard to decide what to do. This time around I was staying at the Paddington area near to the Hyde park and I tried for the first time the London (aka "Boris") Bikes, and since weather was pleasant it turned out to be an excellent decision. I started my ride in the Hyde park, passed by the Buckinham palace, continued all the way to through the Mall and ended up in Charing Cross where I finished the trip. It's here where I took this picture of Trafalgar Square. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory off the southern Spanish coast during the Napoleonic wars. I really like the view you get from the stairs of the National gallery.

If you have been following this photolog you are aware this was not my first time in London and you might remember the first time I went there I didn't have a decent camera so I ended up taking up crappy pictures. In my second visit to London I went with a good camera and I got the opportunity to take some decent pictures like the one you see here with the Big Ben. I went for a Juan Luis Guerra concert with G, but we also took the oppotunity to visit London for a couple of day, and yeah as I remembered it, it's an amazing city!.

The only time I had been in London (I think it was in the spring of 06) we didn't bring any camera and the mobile phone I had at that time didn't have a camera either, so we bought a disposable one that took some really ... horrible pictures!. I had to throw them away because in most of them you hardly could tell that was London :). Anyway I kept a couple of them like this one where you can see the London Eye .. kind of.
