I'm still flying from that last saucer of milk.

By George I think she's got it!

 

*hurriedly noms down curry and stuffs*

 

I will arrange for our transport back to London immediately!

 

 

Groovy baby

*gives everyone milk*

*chugs....*

 

I think I may have lost my fear of flying.

Drinks the milk, falls asleep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

is the next great Erica Jong by any chance?

I don't think so no.

 

*Ithi nudged everyone awake and encouraged them to get their sleepy selves out of the plane and moving towards the Gardens. Once there they found the statue*

 

 

*click*

 

 

The screen went dark and the following words appeared

 

Emmeline Pankhurst was a Bearer of Excalibur

 

 

Then dark again before the next clue appeared

 

Journey's end. Eyes wide standing atop the City. Raised to bring justice to the land. Forever more shall I Defend the Children of the Poor & Punish the Wrongdoer.

 

 

We are very close indeed.

I hope this is wrong cause I think it's game over pretty soon

 

 

 

Lady Justice Statue ontop of the Old Bailey in London

Will you miss the Game terribly if you are correct?

I will but only until the next one :)

There's always another Game.

 

Shall we take a long cut?

 

*Hops onto a London Bus for a Tour of the city on the way there*

 

 

of all the places I never went, I got the closest to going there. but... there was a plane and the milk was of no help.

I'm off to London soon. I'm going to see Wicked in the West End and also be a tourist.

 

*The bus drives past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament*

 

 

Big Ben is actually the giant bell in the Clock Tower. And it's not all that old either. There were some fires and stuff and the old Palace was destroyed. Work on this latest building actually started in 1840.

wicked.

 

and good to see Big Ben wasn't too damaged by that spaceship

Thank goodness for that :)

 

*plays for time*

 

Here we are at Westminster Abbey

 

 

This place is proper old and was consecrated in 1045. This is where all the Kings and Queens of England and later Great Britain are crowned.

that is very proper old.

(I'm just waiting for Rhea to confirm ...)

 

Yes it is. And here is a nice juxtaposition of the old and new. The White Tower ...

 

 

Which is the central keep in the centre of the Tower of London. Originally built by William the Conquerer in the 11th Century and place of great sorrow for those who were imprisoned there. Some never left its walls.

 

And nearby, a more modern building rises up, which we affectionally call ... The Gherkin.

 

*Totally acting like a Tour Guide*

I totally didn't know that about the white tower.

 

but I'm guessing a map of London doesn't look as... um... special... as the map of tar valon....

Our Gherkin is separate from our Tower

heh...

You should totally do the bus tour while you are in London Ithi. I would like to if I get back there.

I'd love to do the night bus tour

I'm going to see a show at night.

 

 

Here we are in the West End ... which is our version of Broadway. Oh look ... it's Wicked - which is the show I am going to see. A Bus Tour is fun :) or maybe a Boat Tour.

 

 

And I think we are almost at the Old Bailey.

ithi and rheas three hour tour?

 

I'll get you to watch Gilligans island yet...

hahah! Three hour tour that cindy never returns from!

 

Just kidding...
