Starting with absolutely beautiful Oslo then :)
In front of the Royal Palace.
Vigelandsparken, just look at the clouds...
... and the colours and the sun and water.
They sure are proud of their Vikings and...
... their skiing tradition. This is what you take with you when you go skiing - the Kvikk Lunsj bar of chocolate for a quick lunch and an orange (lol). Makes a mental note - must not eat Kvikk Lunsj just yet, wait for ... erm ... waah, don't wait, just eat.
Don't ever try to make me believe that ski jumpers are normal people!
I hope they know how to appreciate the view at least!
The gorgeous Akershus...
...and the unexpected concert - Superfamily :) (Photo thanks to Lyss)
And off we went to dear old England. This was all we saw the first day (and it was definitely a big part of all the other days as well, I might add).

The second day was a bit better, with Camden and a certain very pink cake (not shown here).

The third day saw us in London Dungeons (two strictly censored pics) and me on my bridges tour...

... which took place in very different weather conditions and...



... ended at nightfall.

Besides the bridges there was St Paul's...

...the Tower of London...

...the Globe...

...the London Eye...

...and the silhouette of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

The next morning I managed to walk into a film set without realising it of course. Huge spotlights (look close!), hundreds of men dressed as cardinals and no traffic in front of St Paul's weren't quite enough for realising where I was, oh no no. National Treasure it is called :) It was also the perfect beginning of a very rainy Saturday.

On Sunday we went shopping to Covent Garden...

...and then to...

...at...

...to see those two guys...

...and definitely not those four ;)

Thanks to Lyss for the concert pics :)
Back to normal on Monday again. A quick view of Westminster Cathedral...

... and a very rainy Hyde Park.



The Queen has to be protected by barbed wire...

... as well as the guards. Due to rain there was a wet change, almost nothing to look at, except maybe the policemen on horseback ;p

A quick look at the science museum (actually too huge to have a quick look altogether)...

...and then to Harrods...

...and heaven on earth, a hall full of chocolate.

Away from bombs and London there is the absolutely beautiful Reading with cute houses and gardens...

...the Thames...

...and... swans. Who would have thought that they are so huge close up?

Then on to Tallinn?

No ;) Oxford with its colleges...

...self-explanatory rules...

...Harry Potter dining rooms...

...and its own version of the Diagon Alley.

A riverboat cruise through some gorgeous-looking locks...

...and then back to Reading on the insanely narrow countryside roads.

A country full of the cutest small churches...

...next to the cutest small pubs...

...riverboats on the Thames...

...and riverboats on the Thames...

...willows on the Thames...

...doll houses...

...doll houses...

...and doll houses...

...half-hidden signs...

...slightly mysterious footpaths...

...and yet some more slightly mysterious footpaths leading to places where I didn't go.

THE END.
